- Abstract
The article discusses two cases of simultaneous infection in a couple caused by Panton-Valentine leukocidin-positive methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) related to the USA300 clone. These cases highlight the rare occurrence of PVL-positive MSSA in Japan and the need for further research to understand the relationship between PVL-positive MSSA strains and the USA300 clone, as well as the importance of considering PVL-positive strains in the treatment of SSTIs caused by MSSA.
