Cytotoxin and Pyrogenic Toxin Superantigen Gene Profiles of <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> Associated with Subclinical Mastitis in Dairy Cows and Relationships with Macrorestriction Genomic Profiles

Abstract excerpt

A set of 84 Staphylococcus aureus isolates collected from the milk of cows with subclinical mastitis in Asturias (a cattle region of Spain) and six control strains were tested for sequences of genes encoding hemolysins (hla, hlb, hld, hlg, and hlg-2), leukotoxins (lukPV, lukM, and lukED), toxic shock syndrome toxin (tst), and enterotoxins (sea to see, seg to ser, and seu) by conventional and multiplex PCR. It was...
