Analyzed Staphylococcal enterotoxin (SE) gene profiles, associated mobile genetic elements (MGE) and spa types of S. aureus isolates

^*SE gene profiles were investigated by detecting SE and SE-like toxin genes in S. aureus isolates. ^†Several MGE such as Type I νSaβ [3] (seg, sei, selm, seln, selo), φSa3mw [3] (sea, selk, selq), SaPI3 [43] (seb, selk, selq), and φSa3mu [23] (sea) were compared with the SE profile.
