1 Δεκ 2021 · Food handlers carrying S. aureus in their nose can contaminate their hands and other parts of their body, acting as a major source of cross-contamination at any stage of the food production, processing and distribution chain (Colombari et al., 2007).
27 Απρ 2018 · We present recent insights on S. aureus as a foodborne pathogen, thus providing readers with an update of current findings impacting prevention and control measures.
Structure. Staphylococci are Gram-positive cocci about 0.5 – 1.0 μm in diameter. They grow in clusters, pairs and occasionally in short chains. The clusters arise because staphylococci divide in two planes. The configuration of the cocci helps to distinguish micrococci and staphylococci from streptococci, which usually grow in chains.
30 Οκτ 2019 · MRSA has already been isolated from food, indicating that they are present as contaminants in the food production chain [6, 51, 71]. Recently, studies have been performed focused on transmission of MRSA, since its diffusion among food-producing animals and food has increased [ 2 , 7 , 72 , 73 ].
17 Ιουλ 2023 · Staphylococcus aureus is Gram-positive bacteria (stain purple by Gram stain) that are cocci-shaped and tend to be arranged in clusters that are described as “grape-like.” On media, these organisms can grow in up to 10% salt, and colonies are often golden or yellow (aureus means golden or yellow).
Staphylococcal enterotoxins (SEs) are responsible for food poisoning. When they are produced in contaminated food and ingested, they can lead to symptoms like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal cramps.
Members of the genus Staphylococcus still represent a topic of great relevance due to the numerous types of infections they cause in humans and animals. Staphylococci have emerged as important pathogens for both nosocomial and community-acquired infections in people.
