Extreme sensitivity of staphylococcal enterotoxin B and C production to inhibition by cerulenin.
Production of staphylococcal enterotoxins B and C was completely inhibited by concentrations of cerulenin (4 mug/ml and 2 mug/ml, respectively) that did not affect either growth rate or final growth density. Type A toxin formation was not similarly inhibited.
