  1. References

Phenol-soluble modulins (PSMs) are a family of protein toxins that are soluble in phenols that are produced by staphylococcus bacteria. In all species of Staphylococcus, including Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA), they are encoded within the core genome and are an important virulence factor.[1] As they are part of the core genome and not found on mobile genetic elements, all species of Staphylococcus carry these genes.[2]

MRSA production of PSMs is thought to be a possible cause of severe infections.[3] PSM production is higher in community-acquired MRSA (CA-MRSA) than in healthcare-associated MRSA (HA-MRSA),[4] and consequently CA-MRSA associated osteomyelitis[4] is more severe than HA-MRSA associated osteomyelitis.

Genetic analysis demonstrated that the PSM-alpha protein, product of the psm-alpha gene cluster, was associated with enhanced virulence and enhanced destruction of white blood cells, presumably the key to the higher infectivity. However, expression of the psm-alpha genes appeared to vary, dependent upon unknown factors specific to each particular infection.[5]
