Identification of Toxic Shock Syndrome Toxin-1 (TSST-1) gene in Staphylococcus aureus isolated from bovine mastitis milk
Staphylococcus aureus is a major causative pathogen of clinical and subclinical mastitis of dairy domestic ruminants. This agent produces a variety of extracellular toxins and virulence factors including Toxic Shock Syndrome Toxin-1 (TSST-1) which is the major cause of Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS). In this study 58 S. aureus isolates obtained from 9 dairy herds in East and West Azerbaijan provinc...
متن کاملDetection of Classic Enterotoxin Genes and Coagulase Gene Typing of Staphylococcus Aureus Isolated from Raw Cow Milk in Isfahan
Background and Aims: Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is considered as one of the most dangerous pathogenic bacteria due to the production of extracellular toxins. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of S. aureus and to characterize the recovered strains for their enterotoxin-producing genes in raw cow milk. Materials and Methods: During 9 months duration of the s...

متن کاملStaphylococcus aureus nasal carriage in rheumatoid arthritis: antibody response to toxic shock syndrome toxin-1.
OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence of Staphylococcus aureus nasal carriage and to compare antibody responses to two superantigens, staphylococcal toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 (TSST-1) and staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA), in rheumatoid arthritis patients and normal subjects. METHODS 88 rheumatoid arthritis patients and 110 control subjects were cultured for nasal carriage of S aureus; 62...
متن کاملFrequency of Nasal Carriage of Staphylococcus aureus and Associated Risk Factors and Its Antibiotic Susceptibility Pattern Among Healthcare Workers in Pastor and Aflatoonian Hospitals in Bam, Southeast Iran, in 2017: A Cross-Sectional Study
Background and Objectives: Colonization of Staphylococcus aureus in the nose of healthcare workers (HCWs) can be considered as the main source of nosocomial infections. The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of S. aureus nasal carriage among HCWs in Pastor and Aflatoonian hospitals in Bam, its antibiotic resistance patterns, and determine Staphylococcal protein A (spa) typing an...
