Genetic Characterization of Staphylococcus aureus Isolates Carrying Panton-Valentine Leukocidin Genes in Bangladesh
2008-09-29
Abstract excerpt
To assess the spread and genetic characteristics of Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) gene-carrying Staphylococcus aureus in Bangladesh, we investigated 59 strains (49 isolates from clinical specimens and 10 isolates colonized in the nasal cavities of medical staff), including 26 methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) strains. The PVL gene was detected only in methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) strains (7 cl...
