Prevalence of Panton-Valentine leukocidin-positive methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus infections in a Saudi Arabian hospital

Journal of Infection and Public Health, 2015
Summary: Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) is a two-component toxin associated with the toxicity and virulence of Staphylococcus aureus. The presence of PVL is well documented in community-acquired methicillin-resistant 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

First report of Panton–Valentine leukocidin-positive methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus ST88 harbouring ΦSa2usa isolated from refractory breast abscesses in Japan

New Microbes and New Infections, 2016
A methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus with Panton–Valentine leukocidin (PVL) genes was isolated from refractory breast abscesses of 12-year-old girl in Japan, and classified into ST88, spa-t1245 and coa-IIIa.

Arthritis Caused by MRSA CC398 in a Patient without Animal Contact, Japan

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2020
Clonal complex 398 methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a typical lineage of livestock-associated MRSA. We report a case of intractable arthritis of the shoulder joint caused by a multidrug-resistant Panton-Valentine leukocidin–positive ...

Staphylococcus aureus , Panton-Valentine leukocidin, and necrotising pneumonia [PDF]

BMJ, 2005
A rare but often lethal cocktail that can complicate flu P anton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) is one of many toxins produced by Staphylococcus aureus. Structurally similar to γ haemolysin, this leukocidin comprises two subunits (F and S) that together are leukocidal and dermonecrotic.1 Intermixing of γ haemolysin and the subunits of PVL produces toxin ...

Nanozyme Aptasensor Array for Predictive Sensing of Virulent and Antibiotic‐Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus strains

Small, Volume 22, Issue 15, 12 March 2026.
An array‐based nanozyme‐aptamer platform for rapid, colorimetric fingerprinting of Staphylococcus aureus strains is reported. By combining differential aptamer dissociation with pattern‐recognition analysis, the sensor achieves strain‐level discrimination, infers virulence, and predicts the identification of previously unencountered strains, offering a
