Importance of staphylococci that produce nanogram quantities of enterotoxin

摘要: Many staphylococcal strains produce enterotoxin, the toxin that is cause of food poisoning. If a strain enterotoxigenic it possible for to be involved in The gel diffusion methods were first developed detection enterotoxins and thought adequate detect their production. However, they not enterotoxin foods When researchers began using sensitive methods, such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) reversed passive latex agglutination (RPLA), check production, some produced nanogram quantities enterotoxin. was reported several coagulase-negative species less than 10 ng/ml imperative determine whether these enough At present time research under way
