ENTEROTOXIC STAPHYLOCOCCI IN UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT DISEASES

Abstract

Enterotoxic strains do not show characteristic biochemical properties which would make possible their differentiation from those strains that do not produce enterotoxin. Enterotoxins can be produced not only by the aureus strains but also by staphylococci classified as albus strains. For the detection of the staphylococcic enterotoxin, a biological reaction can be made also on frogs with positive result. The presence of entero toxic strains in non-hospitalized carriers of diseases of the upper respiratory pathways can be a source of staphylococcic intoxications.
