Staphylococcal Leukocidin, Panton-Valentine Type

Journal of Toxicology: Toxin Reviews, 1985
AbstractThe Panton-Valentine leukocidin produced by most strains of S. aureus attacks polymorphonuclear leukocytes and macrophages but not other cell types. The toxin, discovered by van de Velde in 1894, was distinguished clearly from leukocyte-damaging hemolysins by the studies of Panton and Valentine. Purified for the first time by Woodin in 1960, it

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.
