| Abstract | ||
| The present study was designed to throw spot light upon the incidence and detection of Staphylococcal enterotoxins. The incidence for isolation of S. aureus in the examined samples of street vended meat products was recorded in the examined hawawshi samples at percentage of 31.4% followed by kofta samples at percentage of 25.7%. While the lowest incidence for isolation of S.aureus in the examined samples was recorded in shawerma samples at percentage of 22.8%. The percentages of antimicrobial susceptibility of S. aureus isolates from the examined samples of meat products were very susceptible to erythromycin (E) (89.3%), followed by norfloxacin (NOR) (82.1%), ampicillin (AM)(60.7%), ciprofloxacin (CP)(53.6%), streptomycin (S)(35.7%) and amoxicillin (AMX)(25.0). The study obtained "one" enterotoxin A and enterotoxin D produced by S. aureus in the Hawawshi samples of meat product. There is "one" unaccepted Hawawshi sample with a percentage (3.6%). While, enterotoxins B and enterotoxin C failed to be detected in Hawawshi samples of meat product. For kofta samples there is "one" enterotoxin D produced by S. aureus. There is "one" unaccepted kofta sample with a percentage (3.6%). While, enterotoxins A, B and C failed to be detected in kofta samples of meat products. Also enterotoxins A, B, C and D failed to be detected in shawerma samples of meat products | ||
