Recurrent cutaneous abscesses caused by PVL-MRSA [PDF]
BMJ Case Reports, 2011 A 41-year-old female presented with a superficial buttock abscess. In the preceding 6 months she had four other abscesses at different anatomical sites. Screening for diabetes and immunocompromise was negative. Review of microbiology revealed Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus harbouring Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) genes. PVL syndrome is

Distinct Bacteriophages Encoding Panton-Valentine Leukocidin (PVL) among International Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Clones Harboring PVL [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2011 ABSTRACT Genetically diverse community-associated methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) can harbor a bacteriophage encoding Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) lysogenized into its chromosome (prophage).

Establishment of a rat model of portal vein ligation combined with in situ splitting. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 BACKGROUND: Portal vein ligation (PVL) combined with in situ splitting (ISS) has been shown to induce remarkable liver regeneration in patients. The purpose of this study was to establish a model of PVL+ISS in rats for exploring the possible mechanisms ...

Characterization of a Novel Panton-Valentine Leukocidin (PVL)-Encoding Staphylococcal Phage and Its Naturally PVL-Lacking Variant [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2013 ABSTRACT A new siphophage (LH1) was isolated from raw milk using a Staphylococcus aureus ST352 host. Its genome (46,048 bp, 57 open reading frames) includes the two genes encoding Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL), a virulence factor usually harbored by S. aureus prophages.

PVL-Bildner: Ein Sanierungsfall?
, 2018 Panton-Valentin-Leukozidin (PVL) ist ein Virulenzfaktor, der von Staphylococcus-aureus-(SA) Stämmen gebildet werden kann und diesen Stämmen eine erhöhte Widerstandsfähigkeit gegen Granulozyten und Makrophagen verleiht. Infektionen durch PVL-Erreger rezidivieren oft und weisen teils[zum vollständigen Text gelangen Sie über die oben angegebene URL]
