Complement 5a Receptor Polymorphisms Are Associated With Panton-Valentine Leukocidin–positive Staphylococcus aureus Colonization in African Pygmies. (6th September 2018) - Schaumburg, Frieder
Abstract: Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) is common in African Staphylococcus aureus and can be associated with skin and soft tissue infection. PVL-positive S. aureus colonization is associated with a variant of complement receptor 5a, the cellular target of the lukS PVL subunit.
