title: Chromosomal determinants for exfoliative toxin production in two strains of staphylococci.
abstract: Strain TG is a plasmidless exfoliative toxin (ET) producer. Strain ER201 contains a plasmid, whose loss had no apparent effect on ET production. The plasmid of ER201 was almost identical in size to the plasmid from strain UT0007, which carries an ET determinant.
