Phenol-Soluble Modulin Toxins of Staphylococcus haemolyticus
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2017 Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) are important nosocomial pathogens and the leading cause of sepsis. The second most frequently implicated species, after Staphylococcus epidermidis, is Staphylococcus haemolyticus.

Staphylococcal leukocidin and .GAMMA.-hemolysin.
Nippon Saikingaku Zasshi, 1997 極めて相同性の高い一次構造を持つ2種類の蛋白質が, 数個のアミノ酸残基の相違により全く異なった機能を持つという事実が Staphylococcus aureus の二成分蛋白毒素ロイコシジンならびにγヘモリジンにおいて明らかにされた。両者は, それぞれヒト白血球および赤血球上で孔を形成する蛋白毒素であるが, ロイコシジンの LukS 成分が, プロテインキナーゼA認識蛋白質であり, 本毒素成分のリン酸化と毒素活性特異性とに強い相関があることが明らかになった。また Panton-Valentine ロイコシジン遺伝子 (lukF-PVおよび lukS-PV) はφPVLと命名された S.
