Staphylococcus aureus Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) alters human neutrophil viability and function
… infections in the United States. Genes encoding Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) are present in most <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> strains that cause CA-MRSA infections. Despite an association of PVL with the most abundant CA-MRSA strains, its role in pathogenesis--if any--remains unknown. PVL is …

Antibiotic Resistance Profiles and Population Structure of Healthcare-associated and Community-associated Staphylococcus aureus isolated in Fort Portal, Western Uganda
… agreement with other studies, the occurrence of Panton-Valentine leukocidin toxin-encoding genes was significantly higher among CC152 strains than non-CC152 strains. However, it was also observed that the coagulase gene was over-represented in this CC, further defining the virulence strategy of …

Staphylococcus spp. from animals intended for human consumption, animalderived food and humans in Spain and Senegal: genetic lineages, antibioresistance and virulence
… carried the genes encoding the equid-adapted leukocidin (LukPQ) and the blocker of equine complement system activation (eqSCIN). The second chapter focussed on staphylococci from common food-producing animals from two countries with different antibiotic use policy (calve, lamb, goat (Spain); …

Epidemiología molecular de Staphylococcus spp. desde un enfoque One Health: genes emergentes e inusuales de resistencia a antibióticos y de virulencia
… simulans isolate carrying the genes encoding the Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) and three S. cohnii harboring the virulence gene eta were identified. Two S. equorum or S. arlettae isolates recovered from the IP farm showed linezolid resistance and carried the cfr gene. The genetic lineages and …

Host-Pathogen Interactions of Secreted and Surface Staphylococcus Aureus Factors
Staphylococcus aureus is an opportunistic bacterial pathogen that can infect humans and other species. It utilizes an arsenal of virulence factors to cause disease, including secreted and cell wall anchored factors. Secreted toxins attack host cells, and pore-forming toxins destroy target cells by …
