The emerging threat of methicillin-resistantStaphylococcus aureus(MRSA) clone ST22-PT, carrying both Panton–Valentine leucocidin and toxic shock syndrome toxin 1 genes

23 Feb 2023

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: Some MRSA strains produce Panton-Valentine leucocidin (PVL) and/or toxic shock syndrome toxin 1 (TSST-1), which are associated with severe infectious diseases. Although PVL- or TSST-1-positive strains have been isolated worldwide, strains carrying both PVL and TSST-1 genes are rare and sporadic. The objective of this study was to characterize these strains from Japan. METHODS: A total of 6433 MRSA...
