BACKGROUND Staphylococcus aureus has been recognized as a major human pathogen and is the major cause of nosocomial infections. Gamma-toxin, leukocidin and other bi-component toxins are a family of proteins encoded by the hlg and luk-PV, respectively. Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) is an example of these toxins and causes leukocyte destruction and tissue necrosis. The aim of this study was t...

One key aspect of the virulence of Staphylococcus aureus lies in its ability to target the host cell membrane with a large number of membrane-damaging toxins and peptides. In this review, we describe the hemolysins, the bi-component leukocidins (which include the Panton Valentine leukocidin, LukAB/GH, and LukED), and the cytolytic peptides (phenol soluble modulins). While at first glance, all o...

Infections caused by community-acquired (CA)-methicillin--resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) have been reported worldwide. We assessed whether any common genetic markers existed among 117 CA-MRSA isolates from the United States, France, Switzerland, Australia, New Zealand, and Western Samoa by performing polymerase chain reaction for 24 virulence factors and the methicillin-resistance deter...

Community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) expressing Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) have been characterized worldwide, but it has not been done in Egypt. In this study, we analyzed the molecular characteristics of PVL+CA-MRSA in Egypt, compared their genetic patterns with that of PVL+ methicillin-susceptible S. aureus and PVL+CA-MRSA from different countries, a...

Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is well known as a nosocomial (healthcare acquired) pathogen. However, since the 1990s, MRSA has been increasingly recognized as a community pathogen. Community associated MRSA (CAMRSA) is distinguished from healthcare associated MRSA (HAMRSA) by clinical and molecular characteristics—HAMRSA is associated with invasive disease (pneumonia, blood...
