While cna and vwb genes had greater representation among strains from an endocarditis source (48.5 vs. 37.8%, p: 0.012 and 99.1 vs. 94.4%, p: 0.003, respectively), there was significant detection of fib genes (77.3 vs. 62.5%, p: 0.025) in SSTI sources. The gene discussed is FBL; the disease is endocarditis.
