Enterotoxin production by Staphylococcus aureus related to the origin of the strains.

The production of enterotoxins by strains of Staphylococcus aureus of human and animal origin seems to be common. 104 out of 170 strains (61%) produced one or more of the A, B, and C enterotoxins. Strains from cow and milk often produced enterotoxin C, and enterotoxin A producing strains were mainly isolated from dogs. Human food poisoning seemed in our material to be induced by enterotoxin A producing strains.

Single-cell protein as a bacterial substrate.

It was found that the pathogenic and potentially pathogenic bacteria tested were able to grow and produce extracellular enzymes and toxins in substrates based on extract from various products of Single-cell protein (SCP), as well as in suspensions of SCP. In addition to the hygienic aspects of these findings the possibility of utilizing SCP as substrate for cultivation of bacteria is pointed out.
