Methods, kits and compositions are provided for detection of virulence markers in pathogenic organisms. More specifically, methods, kits, arrays, and compositions are described which enable detection of marker genes useful in classifying Staphylococcus species, particularly Staphylococcus aureus. Compositions of probes targeted against virulence genes encoding Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL), Toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 (TSST-1) and mupirocin resistance (encoded by ileS-2) are described.
