DOI: 10.1089/mdr.2018.0238
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: 10.3201/eid2905.221717
Abstract: We report detection of Panton-Valentine leukocidin–positive clonal complex 398 human-origin methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus L2 in the Netherlands. This hypervirulent lineage originated in the Asia-Pacific Region and could become community-acquired in Europe after recurrent travel-related introductions.… read more here.
