Abstract:
Objective: To investigate
staphylococcal enterotoxin B(SEB) production and its gene of
Staphylococcus aureus(S.aureus) L-forms.
Methods: The production of SEB was examined by method ELISA and its gene was observed by PCR after
S.aureus was induced into stable L-forms.
Results: There was no significant difference in SEB production between
S.aureus and its L-forms(
P>0.05),and positive band of (478 bp) was observed by PCR in
S.aureus L-forms.
Conclusions: SEB production is not changed and its gene is not lost after
S.aureus is changed into L-forms.
