Enterotoxin production by Staphylococcus aureus clones and detection of Brazilian epidemic MRSA clone (III::B:A) among isolates from food handlers
1 Mar 1997
Abstract excerpt
Staphylococcus aureus is a major bacterial pathogen involved in a wide range of diseases varying from infections to toxaemia. Staphylococcal food-poisoning syndrome is caused by ingestion of bacterial enterotoxins. These toxins are microbial superantigens and may also be virulence factors involved in staphylococcal infection. This study determined the enterotoxin types and pulsed-field gel patterns found among S....
