1 Sept 2006
Abstract excerpt
Staphylococcus aureus isolated from milk of cows with mastitis were evaluated for the prevalence of 16 enterotoxin genes (sea-see and seg-seq) and toxic shock syndrome toxin gene (tsst-1). Of 78 S. aureus examined, 73 (93.6%) were positive for one or more enterotoxin genes and these were divided into 36 groups by the presence of different enterotoxin genes. Enterotoxin genes including sen (84.6%), sem (71.8%),...
