Cholera-like enterotoxin produced by a non-O1 strain of Vibrio cholerae, S7 (S7 enterotoxin), isolated from human diarrheal stool, was purified, and its physicochemical, biological, and immunological properties were compared with those of cholera enterotoxin from V. cholerae O1 569B (CT) and an enterotoxin produced by another non-O1 V. cholerae (E8498 enterotoxin) reported previously (Yamamoto ...

Objective: The study is focused on evaluating the efficacy of seaweed flavonoids against staphylococcus enterotoxin A. Methods: drug-likeness and pharmacological properties chosen ligand were evaluated using SWISS ADME. AutoDockTools-1.5.6 was used to carry out docking analysis determine binding parameters with molecular modeling. Docking visualization performed discovery studio. Results: bioac...

The epidemiological and bacteriological investigations on four foodborne outbreaks caused by a new type of enterotoxin-producing Clostridium perfringens are described. C. perfringens isolated from patients of these outbreaks did not produce any known enterotoxin and did not carry the C. perfringens enterotoxin gene. However, the culture filtrates of these isolates induced the accumulation of fl...

Asymptomatic carriers of toxigenic Staphylococcus aureus are potential source of diseases, including food poisoning. Toxigenic potential and genetic traits of colonizing S. aureus were investigated for 563 healthy food handlers in Myanmar. Carriage of S. aureus was found in 110 individuals (19.5%), and a total of 144 S. aureus isolates were recovered from nasal cavities (110 isolates) and hands...

Abstract Background Staphylococcus aureus is an important opportunistic pathogen of raw milk and products, the enterotoxins cause food poisoning. Milk products are reservoirs enterotoxin-producing S. . The aims this systematic review were to estimate pooled prevalence , including methicillin-resistant (MRSA), summarize their molecular characteristics, assess potential sources contamination in b...

conclusions s. aureus can easily contaminate the chicken nugget and this contamination is usually associated with significant presences of virulence genes. consumption of these nuggets certainly is associated with gastrointestinal diseases. therefore, some food safety and quality standards should be applied and performed in most of the iranian food units to control growth of s. aureus and its v...
