The main causative agent of food poisoning are enterotoxins of Staphylococcus aureus next to the intoxication with Salmonella. Among the strains of Staphylococcus aureus producing these heat stable proteins Staphylococci species as S. hyicus and S. intermedius are also able to produce these toxins.

Generally it is assumed that a population of 5 x 10⁵ cells of enterotoxin-producing Staphylococcus aureus strains per gram of food is required to lead to an intoxication. However, other studies showed that only 100 - 200 ng of Staphylococcus enterotoxins can lead to symptoms of food poisoning. Therefor R-Biopharm has developed the new RIDASCREEN® SET Total for the total detection of the mainly relevant enterotoxins A - E.

By the analysis of food samples on presents of Staphylococcus enterotoxins the sample can be determined effectively and cost-saving as positive or negative after only a short time. Positive samples can easily be confirmed by using the identification kit RIDASCREEN® SET A, B, C, D, E.
