High Prevalence of Panton-Valentine Leukocidin (PVL) Genes in Nosocomial-Acquired<i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>Isolated from Tertiary Care Hospitals in Nepal

1 Jan 2014

Abstract excerpt

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) carrying the important virulence determinant, Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL), is an emerging infectious pathogen associated with skin and soft tissue infections as well as life-threatening invasive diseases. In carrying out the first PVL prevalence study in Nepal, we screened 73 nosocomial isolates of S. aureus from 2 tertiary care Nepali hospitals and...
