AB  - <I>Staphylococcus aureus</I> is one of the most significant pathogens causing nosocomial and community acquired infections. Among the secreted Staphylococcal virulence factors, there is a growing list of enterotoxins which can induce gastroenteric syndrome and toxic shock syndrome. Here we used PCR for the detection of genes  encoding  Staphylococcal  enterotoxins  A,  B,  C,  D,  E  (SEA, SEB, SEC1, SED and SEE) of <I>S. aureus.</I> SEA-SEE were selected because they are 5 classically Described enterotoxins of <I>S. aureus</I> and because they were detected by Latex agglutination. We investigated 50 isolates of <I>S. aureus</I> drived from scar of patients. The presence of enterotoxin genes was found in 37 (74%) of total number of 50 isolates, for one or more enterotoxin genes. The PCR is more sensitive because it offers the possibility for determining enterotoxin as on a genotypic basis.
