R. da aDetection of the enterotoxins A, B, and C genes in Staphylococcus aureus from goat and bovine mastitis ins Brazilian dairy herds.h[electronic resource] c2005 aTo determine the distribution of genes that encode enterotoxins A, B and C, 36 strains of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from goat mastitis and 64 isolated from bovine mastitis were analyzed by Multiplbx PCR. Of the total strains studied, 37 (37%) were detected to have some of the SEs genes. From the bovine mastitis strains, 4 (6.3%) co-amplified the sea and seb genes and 2 (3.1 %) were positive for the sec gene. From the goat mastitis strains. 31 (86%) tested positive to the Multiplex, and the sec gene was detected in all of them. The production of SE was detected in all strains harboring the corresponding gene. The results demonstrated that S. aureus isolated from goat mastitis had a higher enterotoxigenic potential than those isolated from bovine mastitis. Additionally, the presence of the sec gene in the majoritary of goat mastitis strain suggests a possible involvment of SEC in goat mastitis pathogenesis.
