Staphylococcal toxins play an important role in the physiopathology of staphylococcal infections. Subinhibitory concentrations (sub-MIC) of antibiotics modulatein vitro toxins expression inS. aureus : clindamycin (CLI) and linezolid (LIN) display an anti-toxin effect on Panton-Valentine leucocidin and alpha-hemolysin production, while oxacillin (OXA) has an inducing effect.
