Toxic Shock Syndrome Toxin-1 (TSST-1) producing Staphylococcus aureus associated with TSS was isolated from an abscess on buttock, from a two-year-old male child suffering from diarrhoea, high fever and shock. The isolate was subclassified into S. aureus var. hominis of CV type-D, and was lysed by phage 75 of Group-III. It was multidrug resistant, exhibited double ring (DR) CVRT pattern and also produced enterotoxin-C (SE-C). Out of 217 S. aureus strains from pyodermas, clinical sources, food poisonings and dairy foods, 139 (64.1%) produced enterotoxin. SE-C as single (33.8%) or in combinations (25.2%) was common enterotoxin. None of these strains produced TSST-1.

D013211 Staphylococcus aureus Potentially pathogenic bacteria found in nasal membranes, skin, hair follicles, and perineum of warm-blooded animals. They may cause a wide range of infections and intoxications.
D018089 Superantigens Microbial antigens that have in common an extremely potent activating effect on T-cells that bear a specific variable region. Superantigens cross-link the variable region with class II MHC proteins regardless of the peptide binding in the T-cell receptor's pocket. The result is a transient expansion and subsequent death and anergy of the T-cells with the appropriate variable regions. Superantigen
