Distribution of S. aureus isolates from nasal colonization (n = 25), superficial infections (n = 34) and invasive infections (n = 35) according to the number of virulence genes present, and different combinations of icaA, cna and sej. The diameter of the circles represents the number of isolates. A, cna +, ica +, sej +; B, cna +, ica +, sej -; C, cna +, ica -, sej +; D, cna -, ica +, sej +; E, cna +, ica -, sej -; F, cna -, ica +, sej -; G, cna -, ica -, sej +; H, cna -, ica -, sej -. SC, clinical isolates from superficial infections; IC, clinical isolates from invasive infections; N, nasal colonizers.
