Biological and Biochemical Characteristics of Fusobacterium necrophorum Leukocidin

American Journal of Veterinary Research, 1978
SUMMARY The production of a leukocidal exotoxin by 18-hour dialysis cultures of Fusobacterium necrophorum was detected in vitro by a cytotoxicity assay, using bovine leukocytes isolated from peripheral blood. Biological characteristics were determined while maximizing the in vitro assay.

Complement 5a Receptor Polymorphisms Are Associated With Panton-Valentine Leukocidin–positive Staphylococcus aureus Colonization in African Pygmies

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2018
Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) is common in African Staphylococcus aureus and can be associated with skin and soft tissue infection. PVL-positive S. aureus colonization is associated with a variant of complement receptor 5a, the cellular target of the

Leukocidins and gamma lysins (Staphylococcus sp.)

1997
Abstract Staphylococcus aureus strains produce two kinds of bi¬ component toxins designated as leukocidins and γ-lysins (Freer and Arbuthnott 1983; Noda and Kato 1991).The Panton-Valentine (PV) leukocidins are two single polypeptide chains of 32 and 34.5 kD, called LukS and LukF respectively (S and F stand for slow and fast eluting ...

Gene sequences and specific detection for Panton-Valentine leukocidin

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2005
A new category of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), called community-acquired MRSA (CA-MRSA), has emerged worldwide. In contrast to previous MRSA, most CA-MRSA carries the Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) genes (lukPVSF) as a virulence genetic trait.

[4] Purification and crystallization of staphylococcal leukocidin

1988
Publisher Summary This chapter describes the purification and crystallization of Staphylococcal Leukocidin. Staphylococcal Leukocidin, known to be important in the pathogenicity of certain staphylococcal diseases, consists of two protein components (S and F) that act synergistically to induce cytotoxic changes in human and rabbit polymorphonuclear ...
