主权项

1. A method of detecting a biomolecule in a sample, comprising:
a) contacting a sample with an antibody, or a functional binding fragment thereof, that specifically binds an expression product of one or more genes selected from lukS-PV, lukF-PV, lukM, lukF-P83, mecA, and spa, to form a conjugate; and b) detecting the conjugate of (a), thereby detecting the toxin.
