Abstract
Cloning and DNA sequencing of gamma-hemolysin genes from two strains of Staphylococcus aureus showed three open reading frames, transcribed serially within the sequenced 4353 nucleotide bases. In this report, from the nucleotide sequence, we demonstrate that leukocidin and gamma-hemolysin share the F or H gamma I component and the specificity of both toxins depends on this component.Keywords
