Clonal analysis and PCR screening for the presence of Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) genes was performed among 694 methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) cases collected during a 2-y period in Greece. The detection rate of PVL-positive MRSA is high, both in the community and in hospital. Clonal analysis revealed the predominance among the PVL-positive strains of the clonal complex CC80 (ST80-IV) and the emergence of ST377 clone carrying agr1 allele and SCCmec type V.
在希腊为期2年的时间里收集的694例耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌(MRSA)病例中,进行了克隆分析和PCR筛选以检测是否存在杀白细胞素(PVL)基因。PVL阳性MRSA在社区和医院中的检出率都很高。克隆分析显示,克隆复合体CC80(ST80-IV)在PVL阳性菌株中占主导地位,并且出现了携带agr1等位基因和SCCmec V型的ST377克隆。
