Abstract

Description of phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) positive strains isolated from eight abscessing pneumonias in the Czech Republic between December 2007 and May 2009. Short case reports are described too. Five of them were lethal.

Abstract (in Czech)

Práce popisuje fenotypové a genotypové charakteristiky Panton-Valentin leukocidin (PVL) pozitivních kmenů izolovaných z 8 případů nekrotizujících pneumonií v České republice v období od prosince 2007 do května 20099. Krátké kasuistiky jsou uvedeny u každého případu, z nichž 5 bylo letálních.
