Abstract excerpt
Staphylococcus aureus is a major human commensal and pathogen, with the Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) genes being associated with increased virulence. Rapid detection and molecular typing of such isolates are essential for effective epidemiological surveillance and infection control. Studies from Lithuania indicate that PVL is relatively common among S. aureus isolates, but detailed molecular typing data are...
