Abstract excerpt
We designed a novel DNA probe and novel PCR primer sets for detecting the genes coding for Staphylococcus hyicus (S. hyicus) exfoliative toxin (ET). In dot blot hybridization, the novel DNA probe hybridized with chromosomal DNA of ExhA-, ExhB-, ExhC-, ExhD-, and SHETA-producing strains. This probe also hybridized with the plasmid DNA of a SHETB-producing strain. In Southern blot hybridization, the probe...
