Toxins (Basel)
September 2022
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on a coagulase-positive pathogen that poses risks to human health and food safety, particularly due to its ability to survive in a wide temperature range and produce thermostable enterotoxins.
- Researchers analyzed 3604 food samples over five years (2016-2020) to assess how seasonality and food type affect bacterial counts and enterotoxin presence.
- Results revealed winter had the highest bacterial counts, while autumn (especially October) had the highest enterotoxin production risk, with dairy products being most vulnerable to contamination.
