Detection of Staphylococcal Enterotoxin in Food

Ezra P Casman 1, Reginald W Bennett 1
PMCID: PMC1058218  PMID: 14325876

Abstract

Methods are described for the extraction and serological detection of trace amounts of enterotoxins A and B in foods incriminated in outbreaks of staphylococcal food poisoning. Evidence is presented for the probable applicability of the methods for the detection of unidentified enterotoxins.
