Atypical Manifestation in Infection by Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Carrier SCCmec IV and Panton-Valentine Leukocidin-Producer in Experimental Sepsis Model | Chapter 08 | Theory and Applications of Microbiology and Biotechnology Vol. 1
Staphylococcus aureus is considered an
infectious agent of great clinical importance, responsible for many different
types of infection. Strains of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus
(MRSA), Panton-valentine leukocidin producers, are considered more invasive,
presenting clinical sequelae related to abscesses and infection in skin and
soft tissues. The use of invasive techniques in hospital environment, such as
the introduction of intravascular catheter in immunocompromised patients, has
contributed to this microorganism spreading through the bloodstream, causing
bacteremia, necrotizing pneumonia and increasing the number of septic patients
in intensive care units with high mortality. In this report, atypical
infections in Swiss mice using experimental model of sepsis was presented.
