| the genes for panton valentine leukocidin (pvl) are conserved in diverse lines of methicillin-resistant and methicillin-susceptible staphylococcus aureus. | methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus isolated in the community (ca-mrsa) have been reported to carry the loci for panton valentine leukocidin (pvl) in high frequency. ca-mrsa in orebro county, sweden, constitutes at least 50% of mrsa and the pvl locus is detected in as many as 66% of these ca-mrsa isolates. the aim of this study was to characterize pvl-positive methicillin-resistant and methicillin-susceptible staphylococcus aureus by molecular methods, to determine the nucleotide sequenc ... | 2008 | 18656408 |
