Notably was the absolute prevalence for staphylococcal hemolysins: hla and hld. The hla gene encodes a dermanecrotic and neurotoxic toxin that is also responsible for abscess formation; hld producing S. aureus can cause severe enteritis, while hlg lyses mammalian red blood cells and together with tst-1 (toxic shock syndrome toxin-1), can be involved in the pathogenesis of toxic shock syndrome (TSS) [15]. This evidence concerns the gene CCDC6 and abscess.
