Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) isoforms among Staphylococcus aureus lineages isolated from hospitals in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Abstract: 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 no… Show more

“…Manufacturer (Epicentre Biotechnologies, Madison, WI) supplied primers designed to the 5′ and 3′ flanking regions of mini-Tn5 Km, and oriented to sequence 5′ up-stream and 3′ down-stream, were used (KAN-2 FP-1 Forward Primer 5′-ACCTACAACAAAGCTCTCATCAACC-3′; KAN-2 RP-1 Reverse Primer 5′-GCAATGTAACATCAGAGATTTTGAG-3′). Whole genome sequencing was recently conducted with strain N4-5 (Ferreira et al 2020 ) and the genome map can be downloaded from NCBI bioproject PRJNA477367.…”
