Antibiotic resistance properties and genotypic characterization of enterotoxins in the Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated from traditional sweets

This study emphasizes the importance of multidrug resistant enterotoxigenicStaphylococcus aureus in traditional sweet samples. Results represented that traditional sweet samples may act as a reservoir ofS. aureus with ability to transfer antibiotic resistance and enterotoxin genes to human population.
