share structural and functional similarities and possess potent superantigenic activity …

Staphylococcus aureus is a gram-positive bacterium, commonly found in the nostrils, on the
skin and on the hair of warm-blooded animals, including humans. It can produce a wide …

Staphylococcal enterotoxins (SEs) secreted by Staphylococcus aureus frequently
contaminate food and cause serious foodborne diseases but are ignored during food …

Background: Staphylococcus aureus is a major bacterial pathogen capable of causing a
range of infections in humans from gastrointestinal disease, skin and soft tissue infections, to …

Prevention, prediction, control, and handling of bacterial foodborne diseases–an ongoing,
serious, and costly concern worldwide–are continually facing a wide array of difficulties. Not …

ABSTRACT Staphylococcal Enterotoxins (SEs) have been raising health concerns for food
safety due to their association with staphylococcal foodborne poisoning (SFP). As …

Prophages contribute to the evolution and virulence of most bacterial pathogens, but their
role in Clostridium difficile is unclear. Here we describe the isolation of four Myoviridae …

Staphylococcal enterotoxins (SEs) are extracellular proteins, produced mainly by
Staphylococcus aureus, which cause staphylococcal food poisoning (SFP) when ingested …

A century ago, Gertrude Stein told us that a rose is a rose is a rose, but today, modern
genomics is telling us that a pathogen is not a pathogen. Advances in pathogenomics have …

Staphylococcal food poisoning (SFP) is the most prevalent cause of food-borne intoxications
worldwide. Consumption of enterotoxins preformed in food causes violent vomiting and can …
