Production of staphylococcal enterotoxins A, B, and C under conditions of controlled pH and aeration.
The production of enterotoxins A, B, and C by nine strains of Staphylococcus aureus has been studied under controlled conditions in a fermenter. The strain to strain differences between staphylococci producing a specific enterotoxin were very marked. Increasing aeration in shake flasks improved both growth and production of all extracellular proteins measured other than that of enterotoxin C, t...
متن کاملThermal inactivation of staphylococcal enterotoxins B and C.
Thermal inactivation profiles of staphylococcal enterotoxins B (SEB) and C (SEC) at 80, 100, and 121 C showed that SEC is more resistant than SEB to heat. After 24 h of incubation at 25 C, some reactivation (recovery of serological reactivity) occurred in toxins that had been inactivated by heat. If the toxin was stirred during heating, reactivation did not occur. An examination of the reactiva...
متن کاملStaphylococcal enterotoxins A and B: solid-phase radioimmunoassay in food.
An immunoassay employing (125)I labeled enterotoxins A and B and polystyrene tubes coated with specific antibodies was used for detection and quantitation of enterotoxin in food. Ham salad, cheddar cheese, custard, condensed milk, and salami were studied. Enterotoxin was successfully determined in all the foods by simple extraction procedures. The assay was sensitive to 1 to 10 ng of toxin per ...
متن کاملPyrogenic responses to staphylococcal enterotoxins A and B in cats.
Pyrogenic responses, ranging up to 4.8 F, were induced in cats by oral administration of highly purified staphylococcal enterotoxin B in doses from 10 to 100 mug/kg. Fever was a more sensitive indicator of intoxication than was emesis. Highly purified preparations of enterotoxin A, whether administered intravenously (0.01 to 1.0 mug/kg), orally (10 to 25 mug/kg), or into the cerebral ventricles...
متن کاملStaphylococcal Enterotoxins
Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is a Gram positive bacterium that is carried by about one third of the general population and is responsible for common and serious diseases. These diseases include food poisoning and toxic shock syndrome, which are caused by exotoxins produced by S. aureus. Of the more than 20 Staphylococcal enterotoxins, SEA and SEB are the best characterized and are also reg...
