Investigation of Fibronectin Binding Protein (FBP) and Panton Valentine Leukocidin (PVL) Viulance Factors in Clinical Methicillin Sensitive and Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Strains

Abstract

Background: We aimed to investigate the frequency of fibronectin binding protein (FBP), which is part of the first step of adhesion, and Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) toxin, which contributes to the destruction of host leukocytes and tissue necrosis, in clinical S. aureus strains.
