Abstract excerpt
Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) is a Staphylococcus aureus virulence factor codified by lukSF-PV genes. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at lukSF-PV genes can lead to two PVL sequence variants (R and H) generating different PVL isoforms. This study analyzed lukSF-PV genes SNPs among four different clonal lineages (STs/CC 1, 5, 8, and 30) of nine S. aureus isolated at Brazilian hospitals. The sequenced...
