Enterotoxigenicity of Staphylococcus intermedius strains isolated from dogs.

Dogs (n = 100) were examined for the presence of enterotoxigenic Staphylococcus intermedius. Enterotoxigenic strains were isolated from the nasal cavities of 43 (43.0%) out of 100 dogs. Of the 50 enterotoxigenic strains isolated, 23 (46.0%) produced enterotoxin A, 17 (34.0%) enterotoxins A and C, 8 (16.0%) enterotoxin C, and only two (4.0%) enterotoxins A and B. The amount of enterotoxin produced on semisolid brain heart infusion medium by the 17 enterotoxin A producing strains of S. intermedius was 10-160 ng per ml. Enterotoxin A production by S. intermedius strains was ony one tenth to one hundredth of that of S. aureus strains from staphylococcal food poisoning outbreaks.

Bacteriophage typing of Staphylococcus hyicus subsp hyicus isolated from pigs.

Four phages were isolated and used for typing Staphylococcus hyicus subsp hyicus isolated from pigs with or without exudative epidermatitis (EE) in Japan. Sixty-four (85.3%) of the 75 isolates examined were typeable at either routine test dilution (RTD) or 100 X RTD. Two or more kinds of phage patterns were present in the isolates from each pig with EE. All isolates from healthy pigs showed a single-phage pattern. Fourteen (32.6%) of 43 isolates and 7 (87.5%) of 8 isolates from pigs with EE in Belgium and Czechoslovakia, respectively, were typeable with the 4 phages. None of 180 isolates of S aureus, 7 (6.4%) of 110 isolates of S intermedius, and 2 (2.3%) of 86 isolates of S epidermidis were typeable.
