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 ...
