OBJECTIVES Recently kudoa septempuctata in olive flounders is suggested as a cause of food poisoning, however whether kudoa septempuctata can affect human gastrointestinal systems is controversial and its pathogenecity remains unclear. In view of the field epidemiology, food poisonings caused by kudoa septempuctata should be distinguished from those caused by Staphylococcus aureus and bacillus ...

background: in this study we aimed at detecting the enterotoxin a and b gene of s. aureus in clinical samples of patients attending health centers in zahedan using molecular methods. materials and methods: a cross-sectional study was carried out in which 40 samples of s. aureus were obtained from patients in a hospital in zahedan, iran. following the biochemical tests, identifications were conf...

background and objectives: staphylococcal food poisoning is a gastrointestinal disease, which is caused by consumption of contaminated food with enterotoxins produced by staphylococcus aureus (ses). milk and its products are known sources of food borne diseases. this study was carried out to evaluate the prevalence of enterotoxigenic s. aureus strains in organic milk and cheese in tabriz - iran...

We report here the draft genome sequences of eight Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated during three large food poisoning outbreaks in the Russian Federation. The strains were collected from clinical specimens and various foodstuff samples.

We describe a comprehensive detection system for 18 kinds of classical and newly described staphylococcal superantigenic toxin genes using four sets of multiplex PCR. Superantigenic toxin genotyping of Staphylococcus aureus for 69 food poisoning isolates and 97 healthy human nasal swab isolates revealed 32 superantigenic toxin genotypes and showed that many S. aureus isolates harbored multiple ...

Study background: Staphylococci are widespread in nature, mainly found on the skin and mucous membranes. Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is the key organism for food poisoning due to massive production of heat stable exotoxins. The current study was attempted to investigate the effect of biofield treatment on antimicrobial susceptibility pattern and biochemical characteristics of S. aureus (A...

A large-scale outbreak of food poisoning caused by consumption of skimmed milk powder contaminated with staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA) occurred in Japan. No viable Staphylococcus aureus was detected in the skimmed milk powder, however, sea and nuc genes of S. aureus were detected in it by PCR. The number of S. aureus in skimmed milk powder was estimated by quantitative real-time PCR.
