Abstract excerpt

Community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) often produce Panton-Valentine leukocin (PVL), which is encoded by two co-transcribed genes located on lysogenized bacteriophages. Six PVL-encoding temperate phages have been described and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the PVL genes have been reported. In the present study, 22 PVL-positive CA-MRSA isolates were chosen to...
