Milk is considered a nutritious food because it contains several important nutrients including proteins and vitamins. Conversely, it can be a vehicle for several pathogenic bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus. This study aimed to analyze the frequency of genes encoding the nine Staphylococcal enterotoxins (SEs) and enterotoxin gene profiles in S. aureus isolates derived from raw bovine milk....

BACKGROUND In the previous studies using the commercial ELISA kit, the existence of staphylococcal superantigens has been reported in synovial fluid of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). OBJECTIVES This study aimed to design molecular methods to detect staphylococcal enterotoxin C in synovial fluid of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this experimental study...

Staphylococcus aureus is a well-known op¬portunistic pathogen that causes wide range of acute and chronic diseases in both humans animals. Staphylococcal food poisoning just one many caused by this bacterium. The causative agents are entero¬toxins produced enterotoxigenic strains S. during its growth favourable conditions food. Epidemiological data show often found raw milk cheeses accordingly,...

T cells respond in a V beta-restricted fashion to bacterial enterotoxins bound to major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules. The requirement for CD4 in MHC class II-restricted T cell responses is very well established. We have assessed the role of CD4 in the T cell response to the bacterial enterotoxins Staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA), SEB, and toxic shock syndrome toxin 1. T...

Background: Staphylococcal food poisoning (SFP) is one of the most common food-borne diseases worldwide resulting from contamination by preformed S. aureus enterotoxins and milk considered to be a major source SFP. This study aimed at PCR based detection its enterotoxigenic genes in raw products. Methods: A total 300 samples products were collected randomly Aizawl district Mizoram subjected phe...
