A latex agglutination assay for specific detection of Panton–Valentine leukocidin
Journal of Microbiological Methods, 2008Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) is produced by some isolates of Staphylococcus aureus, and has been associated with the high pathogenic potential of these strains. To rapidly detect the toxin producer strains, we developed a reverse passive latex agglutination (RPLA) reaction assay specific for PVL. By testing 64 S.

MALDI-TOF-MS for rapid detection of staphylococcal Panton–Valentine leukocidin [PDF]
International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents, 2009 Toxin-producing gram-positive bacteria are responsible for emerging and life-threatening infections in humans worldwide. Both rapid toxin detection and adapted therapy are essential to limit the morbidity due to such toxins, especially staphylococcal Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL). Here we describe the use of a mass spectrometry profile generated by
