[Detection of enterotoxigenic staphylococci in milk and cheese]

The enzyme immunoassay examinations of 123 milk and cheese samples for enterotoxigenic staphylococci have revealed contamination of raw milk with coagulase-positive staphylococci producing A and B enterotoxins. "Rossiysky" cheese samples were also contaminated with S. aureus producing enterotoxins. The capacity to produce enterotoxins was found in 19.6% (21 strains) of 107 identified strains.
