  • Title: Incidence of enterotoxin producing Staphylococcus aureus among pyogenic skin infections.
    Author: Naidu S, Rao PN, Rajyalakshmi K, Naidu AS.
    Journal: J Hyg Epidemiol Microbiol Immunol; 1989; 33(3):277-82. PubMed ID: 2809183.
    Abstract:
    Out of the total 68 S. aureus strains isolated and studied from pyoderma patients, 33 (48.5%) strains produced enterotoxin. Isolates from IED, impetigo and folliculitis exhibited high degree of enterotoxigenicity. SE-C and its combinations with other enterotoxins was common. 60.6% of the SE producers were found phage nontypable. Typable enterotoxigenic strains were associated with III, IV and mixed phage groups. S. aureus var. hominis and S. aureus var. bovis are the prevalent subspecies types and potent SE producers among pyogenic skin infections.
