A history of Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL)-associated infection protects against death in PVL-associated pneumonia

Vaccine, 2011
Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) is a Staphylococcus aureus toxin associated with skin and soft-tissue infections (SSTIs) and life-threatening necrotizing pneumonia in humans. Recent reports have demonstrated that neutralizing antibody to PVL is not protective against SSTI recurrence, thus raising a controversy about the expected clinical benefits ...

Characterization of PVL-positive MRSA from Norway

APMIS, 2013
Norway is a country in which the Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) prevalence has been low for the last decades. There are virtually no epidemic, hospital-acquired MRSA because of an emphasis on strict infection control rules and restrictive use of antibiotics.

Proliferative Verrucous Leukoplakia (PVL)

Advances in Anatomic Pathology, 2013
Proliferative verrucous leukoplakia (PVL) is a rare less recognized form of oral leukoplakia. Patients with this condition represent a unique clinically and pathologically progressive characteristic from conventional leukoplakia. Because of the lack of defined pathologic lesions, identifying patients with the early diagnosis of PVL is challenging. This

PVL positive Staphylococcus aureus skin infections

BMJ, 2011
Patients presenting with recurrent skin abscesses may be infected with the rapidly emerging and highly pathogenic strains of Staphylococcus aureus that carry the virulence factor Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL). PVL positive S aureus can be acquired in the community and lead to recurrent and potentially serious infections of the skin and necrotising ...

Periventricular Leukomalacia (PVL) and Myelination

Pediatrics, 1990
To the Editor.— The study of Van de Bor et al1 appears to demonstrate differences in myelination between infants with and without periventricular leukomalacia (PVL). However, we feel that it does not demonstrate, as stated, that PVL causes delayed myelination, whereas periventricular-intraventricular hemorhage (PIVH) does not.

PVL-positive MRSA in Austria

European Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases, 2007
The objective of this study was to present, for the first time, an overview of the existing Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL)-positive methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains in Austria and to compare the situation with that found in other countries.

Phenotypic and genotypic characterization of PVL-positive Staphylococcus aureus isolated from retail foods in China.

Journal of food microbiology, 2019
Staphylococcus aureus encodes numerous toxins that are known or strongly suspected to cause specific diseases or symptoms. Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) is one of these important toxins that is associated with high mortality rates.
