Infection with Panton-Valentine Leukocidin–Positive Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus t034
Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL)-positive methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), sequence type 398 is believed to be of animal origin. We report 2 cases of infection due to PVL-positive MRSA, spa type t034, in patients in Sweden who had had no animal contact.
متن کاملPanton-Valentine leukocidin in the pathogenesis of community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection.
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is an important human pathogen that causes serious infectious diseases and was endemic in hospitals by the late 1960s. Beginning with its first report in the late 1990s, the rapid emergence of community-associated MRSA (CA-MRSA) worldwide responsible for a wide spectrum of diseases ranging from minor skin infections to fatal necrotizing pneumon...
متن کاملOutbreak of Panton-Valentine Leukocidin–Associated Methicillin-Susceptible Staphylococcus aureus Infection in a Rugby Team, France, 2010–2011
Staphylococcus aureus strains that produce Panton-Valentine leukocidin are known to cause community infections. We describe an outbreak of skin abscesses caused by Panton-Valentine leukocidin-producing methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (clonal complex 121) in a professional rugby team in France during July 2010-February 2011. Eight team members were carriers; 7 had skin abscesses.
متن کاملRisk factors and molecular analysis of Panton-Valentine leukocidin-positive methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus colonization and infection in children.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Limited information is available regarding the role Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) plays in methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA). In this study, we compared the frequency of the PVL gene between MSSA strains isolated from patients with MSSA infections and MSSA strains isolated from patients with evidence of MSSA nasal colonization. We also explored the ...
متن کاملDissemination of panton-valentine leukocidin-positive methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in Okinawa, Japan.
Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) is a pore-forming cytotoxin that is produced by Staphylococcus aureus closely associated with skin and soft-tissue infections (SSTI). PVL-positive S. aureus strains have been identified worldwide, including in the USA; however, few studies have reported the presence of these strains in Japan. In this study, we prospectively investigated the prevalence of PVL in...
