A new member of the staphylococcal bi-component leucotoxins family, LukE (32 kDa) and LukD (34.3 kDa) has been characterized from Staphylococcus aureus strain Newman, LukE was 58-68% identical with the class S proteins, whereas LukD was 71-77% identical with the class E proteins of the family. A partial immunoreactivity with the various affinity-purified antibodies specific for the other proteins was observed, Immunoprecipitation assay and gene probing confirmed a 30% frequency among human clinical isolates, differing from the distribution of the other known leucotoxins (P < 0.005). LukE+LukD was as effective as the Panton-Valentine leucocidin for inducing dermonecrosis when injected in the rabbit skin, but not hemolytic and poorly leucotoxic compared to other leucotoxins expressed by Staphylococcus aureus.
