Abstract

From the period of October 1987 to January 1988, 9 samples were taken from 16 workers in company canteens situated in the Sienna area. The study of enterotoxin staphylococci strains was carried out of the pharynx, nose, skin of the face and the hands. The investigation required the use of the Staphylo-Zyme P.B.I. kit and RPLA Oxoid set. The most frequently found enterotoxins were A and D, either alone or together.
