      LukS-PV is the S-component of Panton-Valentine Leukocidin, a bicomponent
      pore-forming toxin that targets C5aR and C5L2 receptors on human neutrophils
      and monocytes. Upon receptor binding, LukS-PV recruits LukF-PV to form an
      octameric beta-barrel pore in the host cell membrane causing osmotic lysis of
      phagocytes. PVL-mediated neutrophil destruction leads to necrotizing pneumonia
      with hemorrhagic alveolar damage and severe skin and soft tissue infections
      including furuncles, carbuncles, and necrotizing fasciitis.
