Abstract: (14769 Views)
Background & objectives: Staphylococcus aureus could produce different
toxins such as alpha, beta, and gamma-toxins and leukocidin Penton -
Valentine. Leukocidin (PVL) is a cellular toxin which acts against
polymorphonuclear cells, monocytes, and macrophages and causes an increase
in cellular membrane permeability and leukocytes lysis and tissue necrosis.
This study intends to determine the prevalence of PVL positive strainsof
Staphylococcus aureus by Real-Time PCR method.
Material & Methods: This descriptive study was done during the last 6 months of the 2011. 47 Staphylococcus aureus strains from the clinical samples of Imam Reza Hospital and 53 strains from Shohada Hospital were collected from Tabriz- Iran. Real-Time PCR method was done by using specific primers and probes.
Results: From 100 Staphylococcus aureus isolates, 18 strains (18%) were PVL positive. Eleven strains belonged to Imam Reza Hospital and 7 strains to Shohada Hospital isolates.
Conclusion: By regard to producing PVL-toxins in Staphylococcus aureus strains accounts as a serious threat for human health. So rapid and accurate diagnosis of this gene in these bacteria is necessary. Therefore, it seems that access a rapid and repeatable method will help in rapid diagnosis and timely control of PVL- producing strains in clinical centers
