Abstract
The subtype of staphylococcal enterotoxin C (SEC) of 33 S. aureus clinical isolates teas determined by! polymerase chain reaction and direct DNA seque ncing of a portion of the SEC SEC gene encoding the SEC subtype-specific re gion. With the exception of a single strain with the SEC2 gene, ail of her strains showing different biologic and genetic properties were proved to po ssess the SEC3 gene. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Inc.
