Staphylococcus aureus is a facultative, Gram-positive coccus well known for its disease-
causing capabilities. In particular, methicillin and vancomycin resistant strains of S. aureus …

Staphylococcal enterotoxins are a wide family of bacterial exotoxins with the capacity to
activate as much as 20% of the host T cells, which is why they were called superantigens …

To test the hypothesis that the Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin gene cluster (egc) can
generate new enterotoxin genes by recombination, we analyzed the egc locus in a broad …

A TaqMan and a SYBR Green real time PCR (rt-PCR) were developed for the reliable
identification and quantitative detection of Staphylococcus (S.) aureus strains harbouring the …

We identified 1219 articles published in 2006 that described work performed using
commercial optical biosensor platforms. It is interesting to witness how the biosensor market …

Food handlers, an important factor in food quality, may contain bacteria that are able to
cause foodborne disease. The present study aimed to research coagulase-negative (CNS) …

Staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) is a potent exotoxin produced by the Staphylococcus
aureus. This toxin is classified as a superantigen because of its ability to directly bind with …

Outbreaks of staphylococcal food poisoning (SFP) are very common across the world,
however, there is hardly any report of SFP from the Indian subcontinent. An outbreak …

Peptidoglycan recognition proteins (PGRP) are pattern recognition receptors that can bind
or hydrolyse peptidoglycan (PGN). Four human PGRP have been described: PGRP‐S …

Through staphylococcal enterotoxin (SE) production, Staphylococcus aureus is a common
cause of food poisoning. Detection of staphylococcal food poisoning (SFP) is mostly …
