متن کاملPanton-Valentine Leukocidin Genes in Staphylococcus aureus
To the Editor: The pathogenicity of Staphylococcus aureus depends on various bacterial surface components and extracellular proteins. However, the precise role of single virulence determinants in relation to infection is hard to establish. The frequent recovery of staphylococcal isolates that produce leukocidal toxins from patients with deep skin and soft tissue infections, particularly furuncu...
متن کاملPanton-valentine leukocidin-positive Staphylococcus aureus and foreign travel.
We noted with interest the study by Rossney et al. (3) describing genotypic diversity among Panton-Valentine leukocidin-positive (PVL ) methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in Ireland, where they suggested foreign importation of the strains as one of the reasons for this diversity. In support of this, we have over the last few years seen a number of patients with PVL-associated fo...
متن کاملPanton-Valentine Leukocidin–producing Staphylococcus aureus
To the Editor: Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) is a cytotoxin produced by Staphylococcus aureus that causes leukocyte destruction and tissue necrosis (1). Although produced by <5% of S. aureus strains, the toxin is detected in large percentages of isolates that cause necrotic skin lesions and severe necrotizing pneumonia (2). Although commonly associated with community-acquired methicillin-re...
متن کاملProstatic abscesses and severe sepsis due to methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureusproducing Panton-Valentine leukocidin
BACKGROUND Prostatic abscesses are an uncommon disease usually caused by enterobacteria. They mostly occur in immunodeficient patients. It is thus extremely rare to have a Staphylococcal prostatic abscess in a young immunocompetent patient. CASE PRESENTATION A 20-year-old patient was treated with ofloxacin for a suspicion of prostatitis. An ultrasonography was performed because of persisting ...
