Abstract

Genes encoding Staphylococcal enterotoxins (sea to see, seg, and seh), toxic shock syndrome toxin 1 (tst), and exfoliative toxins (eta and etb) were not detected in a large panel of 48 Staphylococcus sciuri group isolates tested. This strongly suggests that production of the Staphylococcal exotoxins by these bacteria is highly unlikely. Copyright © 2005, American Society for Microbiology. All Rights Reserved.
