enterotoxin genes of classical and new types detected by PCR in France.
The genes for
enterotoxin, exo-foliative toxin and toxic shock toxin syndrome were amplified by multiplex PCR.
Prevalence and genetic characteristics of Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus argenteus isolates harboring Panton-Valentine leukocidin,
enterotoxins, and TSST-1 genes from food handlers in Myanmar.
aureus and or its
enterotoxin is valued as a big obstacle facing food industries and public health (11,14).
The association of SAg genes with MRSA and MSSA isolates showed a higher prevalence of
enterotoxin seq, seg, and sei in MRSA than MSSA with significant difference (p = 0.014), (p = 0.001) and (p = 0.009), respectively [Table 4].
(16,17) Additionally PCR was also performed to detect 17 different virulence genes for
enterotoxins (sea, seb, sec, sed, see, seg, sei, sej), exfoliative-toxins (eta, etb, etd), cytotoxin (lukS/lukF), and adhesins (hla, hlg, ica, efb, sasX).

Food specimens were analyzed using PCR for
enterotoxin source identification and incubated for plate count.
Although the Brazilian legislation does not require the investigation of the presence of (CNS), studies show that these are
enterotoxin producers, as well as CPS, in particular S.
