Comparison of USA300 with non-USA300 methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in a neonatal intensive care unit

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2019
Objectives: Reports of USA300 methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strain were still scarce in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) and the relationship of USA300 MRSA to clinical infections is still controversial.

Severe infections of Panton-Valentine leukocidin positive Staphylococcus aureus in children

Medicine, 2019
Abstract Infections caused by Panton-Valentine leukocidin-positive Staphylococcus aureus (PVL-SA) mostly present as recurrent skin abscesses and furunculosis. However, life-threatening infections (eg, necrotizing pneumonia, necrotizing fasciitis, and osteomyelitis) caused by PVL-SA have also been reported.

Detection of Panton-valentine Leukocidin Gene Isoforms of Staphylococcus aureus Isolates in Al-Zahra Hospital, Isfahan-Iran

Advanced Biomedical Research, 2017
Background: Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) is a gamma-toxin produced by Staphylococcus aureus encoded by genes lukS/lukF-PV with several single-nucleotide polymorphisms. A mutation at nucleotide position 527 results in substitution of histidine (H) to

Disseminated Panton-Valentine Leukocidin-Positive Staphylococcus aureus infection in a child

Archivos Argentinos de Pediatria, 2016
Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) is an exotoxin that is produced by many strains of Staphylococcus aureus, and an important virulence factor. A PVL-positive S. aureus infection leads to rapid and severe infections of soft tissue and necrotizing pneumonia in healthy adolescents, and has a high mortality.

High frequency of Panton-Valentine leukocidin in Staphylococcus aureus causing pediatric infections in the city of Cartagena-Colombia

Journal of Infection and Public Health, 2016
Summary: Panton-Valentine leucocidin (PVL) is a pore-forming toxin that has been epidemiologically associated with CA-MRSA infections. However, its role in the pathogenicity of Staphylococcus aureus is still unclear.
