A Rare Case of Panton-Valentine Leukocidin-Related Cervical Empyema. [PDF]
Asian J Neurosurg, 2023 Abstract Staphylococcus aureus is found in the normal skin and mucosa of approximately 30% of healthy populations and is the most common pathogen in human disease associated with bacteria. They are divided into methicillin-sensitive S. aureus (MSSA) and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). The S.

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.

Panton-Valentine Leukocidin in Necrotizing Pneumonia: A Case Report. [PDF]
CureusPanton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL)-producing Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is a rare but clinically significant cause of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). This toxin leads to extensive tissue destruction and severe inflammation, often progressing to necrotizing pneumonia, septic shock, and multiorgan failure, representing a challenge in medical ...

Panton-Valentine Leukocidin Genes in Staphylococcus 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 ...
