  • Title: Enterotoxin production in different Staphylococcus aureus biotypes isolated from food and meat plants.
    Author: Isigidi BK, Mathieu AM, Devriese LA, Godard C, Van Hoof J.
    Journal: J Appl Bacteriol; 1992 Jan; 72(1):16-20. PubMed ID: 1541595.
    Abstract:
    Strains of Staphylococcus aureus isolated in Belgium and Zaïre from food and from various sources in the meat industry were biotyped, phage typed and tested for staphylococcal enterotoxin (SE) production. Thirty of the 185 strains examined produced one or more SE, and 23 of these belonged to the human biotype. Most SE-positive strains belonged to phage groups III and Mixed, or were not typable. None of the poultry-like biotype strains, which were frequent in nasal carriers among workers in meat plants as well as in minced meat, produced enterotoxins. Avian biotype strains similarly were negative.
