Panton-Valentine Leukocidin–Positive MRSA, Shanghai

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2010
To the Editor: The development of methicillin resistance in community strains of Staphylococcus aureus is a notable step in the evolution of this pathogen. Unlike their equivalents in the hospital environment, community-associated methicillin-resistant S.

Staphylococcus aureus Coordinates Leukocidin Expression and Pathogenesis by Sensing Metabolic Fluxes via RpiRc

mBio, 2016
Staphylococcus aureus is a formidable human pathogen that uses secreted cytolytic factors to injure immune cells and promote infection of its host. Of these proteins, the bicomponent family of pore-forming leukocidins play critical roles in S.

Panton-Valentine Leukocidin Genes inStaphylococcus aureus

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2006
The pathogenicity of Staphylococcus aureus depends on various bacterial surface components and extracellular proteins. However, the precise role of single virulence determinants in relation to infection is hard to establish. The frequent recovery of staphylococcal isolates that produce leukocidal toxins from patients with deep skin and soft tissue ...

Panton-Valentine Leukocidin–positiveStaphylococcus aureus, Singapore

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2004
To the Editor: Necrotizing community-acquired pneumonia attributable to Panton-Valentine leukocidin–producing strains of Staphylococcus aureus has been described as a distinct clinical syndrome with a high death rate in young, immunocompetent patients (1,2). This letter details the first reported case of necrotizing pneumonia caused by Panton-Valentine

Panton-valentine leukocidin and staphyloccoccal skin infections in schoolchildren.

Emerging infectious diseases, 2004
The Panton-Valentine leukocidin is associated with staphylococcal skin and pulmonary infections. We describe a school outbreak of skin infections and the public health response to it. Nasal carriage of a Panton-Valentine leukocidin-positive Staphylococcus aureus clone was detected only in previously ill classmates and their family members.

Characterization and Comparison of 2 Distinct Epidemic Community-Associated Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Clones of ST59 Lineage. [PDF]

, 2013
Sequence type (ST) 59 is an epidemic lineage of community-associated (CA) methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates. Taiwanese CA-MRSA isolates belong to ST59 and can be grouped into 2 distinct clones, a virulent Taiwan clone and a ...
