Septic arthritis caused by an emerging ST121 methicillin-susceptible, PVL-negative Staphylococcus aureus harbouring a variant of bone sialoprotein-binding protein gene

چکیده
ST121/agr-IV methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus was isolated from a patient of septic arthritis (synovial fluid, blood, skin and nasal cavity). Although the Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) gene was negative, this isolate harboured a gene encoding a variant of bone sialoprotein-binding protein with a shortened SD-repeat region.

Detection of ST772 Panton-Valentine leukocidin-positive methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (Bengal Bay clone) and ST22 S. aureus isolates with a genetic variant of elastin binding protein in Nepal
Genetic characteristics were analysed for recent clinical isolates of methicillin-resistant and -susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA and MSSA respectively) in Kathmandu, Nepal. MRSA isolates harbouring Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) genes were classified into ST1, ST22 and ST88 with SCCmec-IV and ST772 with SCCmec-V (Bengal Bay clone), while PVL-positive MSSA into ST22, ST30 and ST772. S...

Prevalence, drug resistance and genetic characteristics were analysed for a total of 128 clinical isolates of staphylococci obtained from a tertiary hospital in Myanmar. The dominant species were S. aureus (39%) and S. haemolyticus (35%), followed by S. epidermidis (6%) and S. saprophyticus (5%). The majority of S. haemolyticus isolates (71.1%) harboured mecA, showing high resistance rates to a...
متن کاملAssociation of virulence genes with mecA gene in Staphylococcus aureus isolates from Tertiary Hospitals in Nigeria.
INTRODUCTION Staphylococcus aureus is the etiological agent for a wide range of human infections, and its pathogenicity largely depends on various virulence factors associated with adherence, evasion of the immune system and damage of the host. This study determined the prevalence of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) and some selected virulence genes in clinical isolates of S. aureus from ...
متن کاملCommunity-Associated Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Lacking PVL, as a Cause of Severe Invasive Infection Treated with Linezolid
Community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) is an emerging public health problem worldwide. Severe invasive infections have been described, mostly associated with the presence of Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL). In Portugal limited information exists regarding CA-MRSA infections. In this study we describe the case of a previously healthy 12-year-old female, spor...

Background and Objective: Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) toxin is a hemolytic exotoxin that increases the permeability of the cell membrane, thus causing lysis of leukocytes and tissue necrosis. Collagen-binding protein (Cna) adhesion Staphylococcus aureus is responsible for binding to collagen and the major virulence factor in arthritis and osteomyelitis. The purpose of this study was to in...
