Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) is a Staphylococcus aureus virulence factor codified by lukSF-PV genes. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at lukSF-PV genes can lead to two PVL sequence variants (R and H) generating different PVL isoforms. This study analyzed lukSF-PV genes SNPs among four different clonal lineages (STs/CC 1, 5, 8, and 30) of nine S. aureus isolated at Brazilian hospitals. The sequenced products showed SNPs at seven sites (positions 121, 470, 527, 663, 856, 1396, and 1729), leading to non-synonymous substitutions in all isolates investigated. Our findings showed new R and H isoforms variants in S. aureus isolated in Brazil and suggest a possible relationship between H2b isoform and the ST30/CC30 lineage.

Panton-Valentine leucocidin (PVL)-negative community-associated methicillin-resistant (CA-MRSA) was originally disseminated in Japan and has since replaced healthcare-associated MRSA (HA-MRSA). However, the clinical characteristics of CA-MRSA bacteremia (CA-MRSAB) compared with those of HA-MRSA bacteremia (HA-MRSAB) are unknown. We aim to clarify differences and investigate associations between the clinical manifestations and virulence genes associated with plasma-biofilm formation in PVL-negative CA-MRSA.

Methods: MRSA strains were collected from patients with SSTIs in Shaoxing People's Hospital from January 2019 to December 2019. We conducted SCCmec typing, Staphylococcus protein A (SPA) typing, multilocus sequence typing (MLST), and virulence gene analysis using whole-genome sequencing on all MRSA strains.

Methicillin-resistant (MRSA) of the ST1-SCCIV lineage has been associated with community-acquired (CA) infections in North America and Australia. In Brazil, multi-drug resistant ST1-SCCIV MRSA has emerged in hospital-associated (HA) diseases in Rio de Janeiro. To understand these epidemiological differences, genomic and phylogenetic analyses were performed.

Introduction: produces numerous toxins, such as toxic shock syndrome toxin 1 (TSST-1) and Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL). We isolated community-acquired methicillin-resistant (CA-MRSA) strains producing both TSST-1 and PVL isolated from severe necrotizing pneumonia cases in a Nepali family. Detection of these CA-MRSA strains is rare in the world, and infection with these strains can take a rapidly progressive and lethal course.
