Superantigens (SAgs) represent a diverse family of bacterial toxins that induce Vβ-specific T
cell proliferation associated with an array of important diseases in humans and animals …

Staphylococcal superantigens (SAgs) are a family of secreted toxins that stimulate T cell
activation and are associated with an array of diseases in humans and livestock. Most SAgs …

Staphylococcus aureus is a major mastitis-causing pathogen in cattle. The chronic nature of
bovine staphylococcal mastitis suggests that some products or components of S. aureus …

Staphylococcus aureus is one of the major etiological agents of bovine mastitis, harboring a
wide variety of staphylococcal superantigen (SAg) toxin genes. The SAg toxin genes are …

Staphylococcal superantigen (SAg) toxins are the most notable virulence factors associated
with Staphylococcus aureus, which is a pathogen associated with serious community and …

To evaluate the distribution of most known staphylococcal superantigen (SAg) genes in
Staphylococcus aureus isolated from bovine mastitis cases, a genetic analysis of 15 SAg …

In recent years several new staphylococcal enterotoxins (SEs) have been described, which
currently have largely unknown frequencies of occurrence and roles in human or animal …

The coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) are the most prevalent mastitis pathogen
group yet their virulence characteristics have not been well described. We investigated the …

Staphylococcal superantigens (SAgs) constitute a family of potent exotoxins secreted by
Staphylococcus aureus and other select staphylococcal species. SAgs function to cross-link …

The purpose of this study was to analyze and compare genes encoding superantigens
(SAgs) in Staphylococcus xylosus and Staphylococcus aureus isolates collected …
