Community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) infections are often caused by strains encoding Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL). PVL can cause lysis of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) and other myeloid cells in vitro, a function considered widely as the primary means...

Panton-Valentine Leukocidin (PVL) is a Staphylococcus aureus toxin that binds to and kills human neutrophils resulting in the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps. A subset of individuals colonized with PVL expressing S. aureus suffer from recurring infections. We found that neutrophils from ...

The role of Pantonâ??Valentine leukocidin (PVL) in Staphylococcus aureus pathogenesis is controversial. Here, we show that an unintended point mutation in the agr P2 promoter of S.aureus caused the phenotypes in gene regulation and murine pneumonia attributed to PVL by Labandeiraâ??Rey et al. (Scien...

Panton-valentine leukocidin (PVL) has been linked to worldwide emergence of community-associated methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) -- its role in virulence in unclear. Here we show that PVL had no effect on global gene expression of prominent CA-MRSA strains nor did it affect ba...

Injury occurring during critical periods of development may have long-term effects on inflammatory responses. Periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) is the most common cause of cerebral palsy (CP) in preterm infant. Activated leukocytes are the main source of inflammatory cytokines that give rise to whi...

The Staphylococcus aureus Panton Valentine leukocidin (PVL) is a pore-forming toxin secreted by strains epidemiologically associated with the current outbreak of community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) and with the often lethal necrotizing pneumonia. To investigate...
