Leukocidin (PVL) Gene in Adult Infections Using Real Time PCR

Abstract
S
taphylococcus aureus is a bacterial pathogen distributed worldwide and a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. It causes a variety of infections ranging in severity from mild to severe, life threatening conditions.
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is classified into HA-MRSA and CA-MRSA.
HA-MRSA is frequently responsible for serious and often life-threatening infections in individuals with established risk factors, such as prolonged hospital stay and antibiotic usage, older age, recent surgery, or an immunocompromised state.
CA-MRSA is considered now a health care problem, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had established a definition for identification of community acquired S. aureus which stated that a case of MRSA infection is community acquired when it is diagnosed in an outpatient or within 48 hours of hospitalization if the patient lacks the following traditional risk factors for MRSA infection: receipt of hemodialysis, surgery, residence in a long-term care facility, or hospitalization during the previous year, the presence of an indwelling catheter or a percutaneous device at the time culture samples were obtained, or previous isolation of MRSA.
