The Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxins are a superfamily of secreted virulence factors that
share structural and functional similarities and possess potent superantigenic activity …

Staphylococcus aureus produces a wide variety of toxins including staphylococcal
enterotoxins (SEs; SEA to SEE, SEG to SEI, SER to SET) with demonstrated emetic activity …

The recent finding that the formation of staphylococcal enterotoxins in food is very different
from that in cultures of pure Staphylococcus aureus sheds new light on, and brings into …

ABSTRACT A total of 429 different Staphylococcus aureus isolates encompassing 219
blood isolates and 210 isolates taken from anterior nares were systematically searched by …

Aims: This paper reports on a new putative enterotoxin SEU encoded by the enterotoxin
gene cluster egc from Staphylococcus aureus and on a real‐time polymerase chain reaction …

The PCR detection of the genes coding for the newly described staphylococcal enterotoxins
(SE) G, H, I and J was carried out for 332 foodborne staphylococci, isolated from a variety of …

Staphylococcal enterotoxins are the most common cause of foodborne intoxications
(staphylococcal food poisoning) and cause a wide range of diseases. With at least six …

Aims: Evaluation of the occurrence of most known staphylococcal enterotoxin (SE) genes,
egc (enterotoxin gene cluster) and TSST1 (toxic shock syndrome toxin 1) gene in both …

This study evaluated the use of PFGE and single enzyme AFLP techniques for the
determination of the genetic relationships between Staphyloccocus aureus isolates from …

Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), one of three pathogenic species of the Gram-positive
cocci, is often found as part of the normal microflora of the human skin, the upper respiratory …
