International Journal of Food Science, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Staphylococcus aureus is a leading cause of foodborne diarrhea, primarily due to staphylococcal enterotoxins (SEs). This study employed whole‐genome sequencing to characterize 106 S. aureus isolates from diarrheal patients in East China (2019–2024). We identified 23 sequence types, with ST398 (22.6%) and ST5 (7.5%) among the most prevalent.

International Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Background Methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is one of the leading causes of hospital and community‐acquired infections, with the increasing threat of antimicrobial resistance worldwide. Staphylococcal Cassette Chromosome mec (SCCmec) typing is one of the molecular techniques to predict the genetic background of MRSA strains and ...

Molecular and Cellular Probes, 2014 Staphylococcus aureus is a human pathogen that can harbour several genes encoding exotoxins including leukocidins. A clinically most relevant factor is Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) because of its association with chronic, recurrent or severe skin and soft tissue infections.

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.

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,
