Epidemiological data on Staphylococcus aureus strains producing synergohymenotropic toxins.

abstract：:Prior to the advent of the Haemophilus influenzae type b vaccine, invasive infections due to H. influenzae type f were rarely described. However, the epidemiology of H. influenzae is changing. While the incidence of invasive infections due to H. influenzae is declining in children, such infections are becoming more co...
