标题：INVESTIGATION OF ENTEROTOXIN GENES IN COAGULASE-NEGATIVE STAPHYLOCOCCUS AND MACROCOCCUS CASEOLYTICUS STRAINS FROM TURKISH DRY FERMENTED SAUSAGE (SUCUK)
摘要：The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of enterotoxin structural genes in 51 coagulase- negative Staphylococcus (CNS) and 10 Macrococcus caseolyticus strains isolated from traditional fermented Turkish sausages (sucuk) produced without using starter culture. For this purpose, the presence of 18 enterotoxin structural genes (sea, seb, sec, sed, see, seg, she, sei, selj, selk, sell, selm, seln, selo, selp, selq, selr and tst1) were researched by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in a total of 61 isolates from sucuk. The PCR results indicated that none of the isolates has contained enterotoxin structural gene. The results of this study showed that CNS and M. caseolyticus strains isolated from sucuk were safe in terms of enterotoxin production.
