چکیده
presencc of two loci n thc strain A']'CC 497,7S. The first locus consisted of Aig2, tttkS. and fukF (First locus). The second one consistcd oi' tukS-PV and lukFLPV (Second iocus). In a previous study, we demonstrated the presencc of five components, I to V, in S. aureus P83 and identific:d components I, Itl, IV, ttnd V as LukF. LukM, LukS, and Hvll fbr leukocidin and T-ltemolysin, respectively.8} According to the DNA sequencing data, Hl,II, I.ukS, and I.ukF cciisisted of one clustet in P83, However, the loci of the genes of component II and LukM on the chromosorne in this strain rcmained to bc studied, LukM shows LukF-like activity in cornbination with LukS or H7II,

Increased Age-Dependent Risk of Death Associated With lukF-PV-Positive Staphylococcus aureus Bacteremia
BACKGROUND Panton-Valentine leucocidin is a Staphylococcus aureus virulence factor encoded by lukF-PV and lukS-PV that is infrequent in S aureus bacteremia (SAB), and, therefore, little is known about risk factors and outcome of lukF-PV/lukS-PV-positive SAB. METHODS This report is a register-based nationwide observational cohort study. lukF-PV was detected by polymerase chain reaction. Factor...
متن کاملExpression of Panton-Valentine Leukocidin mRNA among Staphylococcus aureus Isolates Associates with Specific Clinical Presentations
Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL; gene designation lukF/S-PV) is likely an important virulence factor for Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), as qualitative expression of the protein correlates with severity for specific clinical presentations, including skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs). Development of genetic approaches for risk-assessment of patients with S. aureus infections may prove ...
متن کاملIn vitro production of panton-valentine leukocidin among strains of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus causing diverse infections.
BACKGROUND Community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains have recently been associated with severe necrotizing infections. Greater than 75% of these strains carry the genes for Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL), suggesting that this toxin may mediate these severe infections. However, to date, studies have not provided evidence of toxin production. METHODS Twenty-nine ...
متن کاملAbove and beyond C5a Receptor Targeting by Staphylococcal Leucotoxins: Retrograde Transport of Panton–Valentine Leucocidin and γ-Hemolysin
Various membrane receptors associated with the innate immune response have recently been identified as mediators of the cellular action of Staphylococcus aureus leucotoxins. Two of these, the Panton-Valentine leucotoxin LukS-PV/LukF-PV and the γ-hemolysin HlgC/HlgB, bind the C5a complement-derived peptide receptor. These leucotoxins utilize the receptor to induce intracellular Ca2+ release from...
متن کاملThe Molecular Epidemiology of the Highly Virulent ST93 Australian Community Staphylococcus aureus Strain
In Australia the PVL-positive ST93-IV [2B], colloquially known as "Queensland CA-MRSA" has become the dominant CA-MRSA clone. First described in the early 2000s, ST93-IV [2B] is associated with skin and severe invasive infections including necrotizing pneumonia. A singleton by multilocus sequence typing (MLST) eBURST analysis ST93 is distinct from other S. aureus clones. To determine if the inc...
