Abstract
Effects of various nutritional and environmental factors on growth and enterotoxin synthesis by Staphylococcus aureus in model systems and foods are reviewed. Factors discussed include effects of inoculum size, competing microflora, gaseous atmosphere, carbon source, temperature, pH, sodium chloride, water activity, mineral ions and sublethal stress. Areas where additional research is needed are also discussed.Keywords
