Staphylococcus aureus produces many virulence factors, most of which act in a synergistic and coordinated fashion. Some appear to be specifically associated with certain severe infections and are produced by meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) clones distributed worldwide. Superantigenic exotoxins appear to be major virulence factors in hospital MRSA clones (HA-MRSA), and staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA) may be involved in the physiopathology of septic shock. Panton Valentine Leucocidin (PVL) has emerged as a major virulence factor in community-acquired Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) infections. In particular, the Leukotoxic action of PVL is responsible for the high mortality rate associated with necrotizing pneumonia. CA-MRSA can also harbour the toxic shock toxin 1 (TSST-1) and rarely the exfoliative toxin. (C) 2007 The Hospital Infection Society. Published by Elsevier Ltd. Alt rights reserved.
