Bacteriol. 91:1677-1680. 1966.-Earlier studies demonstrating that staphylococcal a-toxin and streptolysin S have the capacity to lyse protoplasts and spheroplasts of certain species of bacteria and Mycoplasma have been extended to encompas...

Food poisoning that involves multiple etiologies is reported from developing as well developed nations.Among the microbial causes, Staphylococcus aureus a major pathogen of food can occur in sporadic and epidemic form. It may cause life-threatening infections children, elderly, immunocompromised persons. Staphylococcal responsible for 241,000 cases United States annually. A variety foods, such ...

Abstract Staphylococcal enterotoxins (SE) are essential in human and animal infection food poisoning. This study analyzed ten genes ( sek, sel, sem, sen, seo, sep, seq, ser, ses , set ) encoding new staphylococcal enterotoxin isolated from animals humans by multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR). In Yogyakarta, Indonesia, samples cases (174 isolates), cattle (5 goats isolates) resulted a tot...

In this work, S. aureus isolates from meat and products were examined for frequency, profiles of antibiotic susceptibility, virulence genes (seb, sea, sec, sed, see, fme A). Staphylococcal food poisoning is one the most economically important foodborne diseases in world. a prominent food-borne pathogen common contamination across Some strains generate staphylococcal enterotoxins (SEs), which ca...

conclusions based on the findings of this study, s. aureus enterotoxin c (sec) has been detected in synovial fluid of patients with rheumatoid arthritis by pcr and elisa methods. these valuable findings may describe the exact etiology of the ra and as well as change the methods of its diagnosis and treatment. this is the first research, which has shown the staphylococcal entc gene in synovial f...

a total of 183 coagulase negative staphylococcal infected quarters and 64 uninfected quarters were randomly allotted to 4 experimental groups: infected quarters that did not receive any treatment (positive control group; n = 60); infected quarters that received tylosin (n = 61) or cefquinome (n = 62) and also uninfected quarters that did not receive any treatment were considered as negative con...
