Abstract
From 160 staphylococci isolated from ovine mastitis, 125 were identified as coagulase‐positive staphylococci (CPS) and 35 as coagulase‐negative staphylococci (CNS). Of these, 108 (87.8%) S. aureus produced at least one of the staphylococcal enterotoxins (SE) described. However, no CNS was found to be enterotoxigenic. Enterotoxin C (SEC) was the type most frequently produced. TSST‐1 was shown to be produced by 91 (74.0%) of S. aureus, almost invariably in combination with SEC. Three CNS strains were also found to produce TSST‐1 (two strains of S. xylosus and one strain of S. epidermidis).;Keywords
