title: [Production of a monovalent staphylococcal enterotoxic antiserum type A and its use for typing staphylococcal enterotoxins].
abstract: A monovalent specific staphylococcal antiserum, type A, was obtained by means of the isolated and purified preparation of type A staphylococcal enterotoxin. This antiserum was proved to be identical to antiserum of the same type, manufactured by Serva Feinbiochemica GmbH & Co. (West Germany). The titer of the newly obtained antiserum in the precipitation test was 1 : 16, and its use allowed one to detect enterotoxin of the above-mentioned type at a concentration of 0.004 mg/ml. The study of 320 staphylococcal strains with the use of this antiserum revealed that 25 strains (7.8%) produced type A enterotoxin.
