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 ...

Panton-Valentine Leukocidin-Positive Staphylococcus aureus Infections in Returning Travelers [PDF]
The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2010 Skin and soft tissue infections caused by Panton-Valentine leukocidin-producing strains of Staphylococcus aureus are emerging among travelers returning from the tropics. Here, we here present data on 15 affected individuals. Intrafamiliar spread was documented in one case, and occupational transmission was assumed in another.

Two Different Panton-Valentine Leukocidin Phage Lineages Predominate in Japan [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2008 ABSTRACT We determined the entire nucleotide sequence of φSa2958-carrying Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) gene, which was lysogenized in a sequence type 5 staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCC mec ) type II strain of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus

BioMed Research International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Background Methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus poses a serious threat to global health due to its resistance to conventional antibiotics and its ability to form resilient biofilms. Cold atmospheric plasma has emerged as a promising alternative for microbial biofilm inactivation. Objective To systematically evaluate the in vitro efficacy of cold
