Outbreak of Panton-Valentine Leukocidin–Associated Methicillin-Susceptible Staphylococcus aureus Infection in a Rugby Team, France, 2010–2011

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2016
Staphylococcus aureus strains that produce Panton-Valentine leukocidin are known to cause community infections. We describe an outbreak of skin abscesses caused by Panton-Valentine leukocidin–producing methicillin-susceptible S.

TPST2-mediated receptor tyrosine sulfation enhances leukocidin cytotoxicity and S. aureus infection

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
BackgroundAn essential fact underlying the severity of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) infection is the bicomponent leukocidins released by the pathogen to target and lyse host phagocytes through specific binding cell membrane receptors.

Methicillin sensitive Staphylococcus aureus producing Panton-Valentine leukocidin toxin in Trinidad & Tobago: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2011
Introduction Certain Staphylococcus aureus strains produce Panton-Valentine leukocidin, a toxin that lyses white blood cells causing extensive tissue necrosis and chronic, recurrent or severe infection.

Identification of staphylococcal Panton-Valentine leukocidin as a potent dermonecrotic toxin [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 1980
The Panton-Valentine leukocidin of Staphylococcus aureus was shown to exhibit a potent dermonecrotic effect when injected intradermally into rabbits. This effect could be abrogated by immunizing animals with the F component or both components, but immunization with the S component appeared to exacerbate certain of the intradermal responses.

Remitting infections due to community-acquired Panton–Valentine leukocidin-producing Staphylococcus aureus in the Milan area

Journal of Infection and Public Health, 2018
One of the most important Staphylococcus aureus virulence factors is Panton–Valentine leukocidin (PVL). We describe an outbreak of recurrent cutaneous PVL infections in different members of three family clusters.
