Abstract

A method for in vitro diagnosis of Staphylococcus aureus producing Panton-Valentine Leukocidin (PVL), using a biological sample derived from an individual liable to be colonized by or infected with Staphylococcus aureus, wherein the diagnosis is carried out by detection of PVL using a routine immunological test, and the biological sample is pretreated in order to denature the PVL.
