Detection of Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxigenic strains in bovine raw milk by reversed passive latex agglutination and multiplex polymerase chain reaction

AIM: tainting levels in raw milk from different sources in Egypt and characterization of enterotoxigenic strains utilizing a technique in light of PCR to identify genes coding for the production of staphylococcal enterotoxin (SE). The obtained data were compared with results from the application of the reversed passive latex. MATERIALS AND METHODS: contamination and tested for enterotoxin genes presence and toxin production. RESULTS: . According to RPLA, three isolates produced SEB and SEC. CONCLUSION: strains in raw milk is necessary for consumer safety.
