متن کاملThe prevalence study of Staphylococcal enterotoxin genes from clinical samples of patients by multiplex PCR in Ahwaz hospitals.
Background: Several virulence factors have been described in pathogenesis of Staphylococcus aureus strains. Staphylococcal Enterotoxins(SEs) that is one of the most factors, are belonging to important members of bacterial superantigens. Superantigens are defined by their ability to stimulate cytokine release from both T cells and macrophages. 13 different SEs are known that their function is no...
