Panton–Valentine leukocidin toxin producing Staphylococcus aureus (PVLSA) is known to be responsible for recurrent soft tissue infections and more serious invasive infections including necrotising pneumonia, pyomyositis, and osteomyelitis. Most reported cases involving musculoskeletal infection in adults are associated with methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) PVL-producing strains. We present the case of an adult male with PVL toxin–producing methicillin-sensitive S. aureus (MSSA) osteomyelitis of the tibia which has not previously been described in adults and highlight issues of recognition, treatment, and surgical management of PVLSA osteomyelitis.

ABSTRACT The association of Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) toxin with necrotizing soft tissue infection (NSTI) caused by Staphylococcus aureus remains controversial. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of the PVL-negative S. aureus strain JMUB1273, isolated from a patient with pervasive NSTI.
