Characterization of Panton–Valentine leukocidin-positive Staphylococcus aureus from skin and soft tissue infections and wounds in Nigeria: a cross-sectional study

2018-07-30

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Staphylococcus aureus  is a significant pathogen implicated in numerous nosocomial and community-acquired infections. The Panton–Valentine leukocidin (PVL) can be associated with severe necrotizing diseases such as pneumonia, skin and soft tissue infection (SSTI).  <h4>Methods: </h4> : In total, 96 S. aureus isolates were obtained from patients presenting with wounds (n=48) and soft tissue...
