Characteristics of Staphylococcus aureus Infections, Chicago Pediatric Hospital
Invasive and skin community-associated (CA)–methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates from children were matched with invasive CA–methicillin-sensitive S. aureus strains during 2000–2004.

Infection with Panton-Valentine Leukocidin–Positive Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus t034
Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL)–positive methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), sequence type 398 is believed to be of animal origin. We report 2 cases of infection due to PVL–positive MRSA, spa type t034, in patients in Sweden who had had

ABSTRACT Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are nanosized vesicles naturally secreted by Gram‐negative bacteria and represent a promising platform for vaccine development. OMVs possess inherent immunostimulatory properties due to the presence of pathogen‐associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), providing self‐adjuvanting capabilities and the ability to ...

High Production of LukMF' in Staphylococcus aureus Field Strains Is Associated with Clinical Bovine Mastitis [PDF]
Staphylococcus aureus, a major cause of bovine mastitis, produces a wide range of immune-evasion molecules. The bi-component leukocidin LukMF' is a potent killer of bovine neutrophils in vitro.

Summary: Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) is a two-component toxin associated with the toxicity and virulence of Staphylococcus aureus. The presence of PVL is well documented in community-acquired methicillin-resistant S.

This study reveals a high prevalence of foodborne S. aureus in northwest Hubei Province, with MRSA strains displaying significantly elevated antibiotic resistance and biofilm‐forming capacities compared to MSSA strains. The high carriage rates of enterotoxin genes across isolates underscore the potential of these strains to contribute to foodborne ...

Prophages play a significant role in modulating bacterial virulence and pathogenicity. Our results suggest domestication of φSa3int prophage leads to reduced phagocytosis mediating escape of S. aureus from human innate immunity. As such, targeted identification of mobile genetic elements (MGEs) in addition to species and strain identification may lead ...
