"this ability to cause lung necrosis appears to be intimately related to the secretion of the Panton-Valentine Leukocidin (PVL); a pore-forming cytotoxin present in the majority of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates, which assembles as a ring pore in the membrane of the host leucocytes, leading to leakage of cell contents and ultimately leucocyte necrosis and a superantigen effect 5"
