Abstract: Staphylococcus aureus is one of the major pathogens causing community—and healthcare-acquired infections. The presence of the virulence factor Panton–Valentine leukocidin (PVL) is associated with recurrent infection and clinical severity and generally regarded as a feature… read more here.

Abstract: AIM Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) is a virulent cytotoxin and an indicator of community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) infection. In this study, we evaluated the prevalence and clinical and molecular characteristics of PVL-positive invasive S. aureus… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0273474
Abstract: Epidemiology of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is continually changing. Frequency of genotypes typical for community-associated MRSA (CA-MRSA) is increasing in hospitals, as well as resistance to antimicrobial agents. Moreover, different clones predominate in different geographic… read more here.

DOI: 10.5812/archcid-135699
Abstract: Background: Staphylococcus aureus with concurrent resistance to antibacterial agents is emerging globally. This emergence might be due to the production of different virulence determinants, notably Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL). Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the… read more here.
