Abstract: The aim of the present study was to investigate the main virulence genes properties of Staphylococcus aureus (SA) strains from bovine mastitis.For this purpose,8 kinds of virulence genes were detected from 70 isolates of clinical mastitis and 55 isolates of subclinical mastitis with PCR.The results were as follows,the detecting rates of nuc,ClfA,TSST-1,PVL,Hla,Hlb,FnBPA and FnBPB were 100.0% (70 isolates),100.0% (70 isolates),0 (0 isolate),5.7% (4 isolates),100.0% (70 isolates),11.4% (8 isolates),97.1% (68 isolates) and 100.0% (70 isolates) respectively in clinical mastitis;whereas 100.0% (55 isolates),100.0% (55 isolates),0 (0 isolate),70.9% (39 isolates),98.2% (54 isolates),9.1% (5 isolates),100.0% (55 isolates) and 100.0% (55 isolates) in subclinical mastitis. The results implied that nuc,ClfA,Hla,Hlb and FnBPA were the main virulence genes in SA isolates both in clinical mastitis and subclinical mastitis. PVL gene might be a key pathogenic gene for the cows with subclinical mastitis.
