چکیده
BACKGROUND Regional differences in the prevalence of Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) and PVL isoform-harboring strains as well as in the local population structure of Staphylococcus aureus may influence the clinical spectrum of S. aureus infections. METHODS Using a prospective collection of S. aureus isolates from northern Australia, we determined differences between infections caused by (1) PVL(+) and PVL(-) isolates, (2) PVL histidine (H) isoform- and PVL arginine (R) isoform-harboring isolates, and (3) different lineages, including the genetically divergent clonal complex (CC) 75 and the PVL(+) CC93. RESULTS PVL(+) isolates comprised 54% (128/239) of community-associated methicillin-resistant isolates and 40% (95/239) of methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) isolates. There were 113 H isoform- and 110 R isoform-harboring isolates. PVL was associated with truly community-acquired disease, younger age, and presentation with sepsis. We found no differences in infections due to H isoform-harboring isolates, compared with R isoform-harboring isolates. CC93 was the most prevalent lineage. The genetically divergent CC75 caused clinical disease similar to that of other S. aureus clones. CONCLUSIONS PVL(+) and PVL(-) infections are clearly distinct. MSSA contributes a large but underrecognized burden of PVL(+) disease. Compared with elsewhere in the world, there is a relative abundance of the clade that contains CC93 and CC121 in both northern Australia and Asia.

Staphylococcus aureus carrying PVL gene remain major health problem associated with highly virulent infections. Characterization of such gene is important to know the impact and the functional significance of nucleotide variations. PCR and standard sequencing were performed for twelve Sudanese strains from different sources. Protein structures prediction, modeling and physiochemical analysis we...
متن کاملDo differences in Panton-Valentine leukocidin production among international methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus clones affect disease presentation and severity?
Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) production by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) was determined in vitro using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and associations with clinical presentation and bacterial genetic characteristics were examined. PVL production ranged from 0.02 to 4.865 μg/ml and correlated with a multilocus sequence type (MLST) clonal complex associat...

Background and Objective: Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) toxin is a hemolytic exotoxin that increases the permeability of the cell membrane, thus causing lysis of leukocytes and tissue necrosis. Collagen-binding protein (Cna) adhesion Staphylococcus aureus is responsible for binding to collagen and the major virulence factor in arthritis and osteomyelitis. The purpose of this study was to in...

We examined the antibody responses of pediatric patients infected with community-associated Staphylococcus aureus isolates. The data show that patients infected with Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL)-positive strains developed a dominant immunoglobulin G anti-PVL antibody response that correlates with markers of inflammation.
