title: [Molecular microbiology and clinical features of Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxins].
abstract: The authors review the novel data available in the literature and their experimental results about the enterotoxins of Staphylococcus aureus. Their genetics, phylogenetics, biological characteristics, as well as mechanisms of action are dealt with. Furthermore, pathogenesis, pathomechanism, immunology, major symptoms and signs, diagnostics, management, possible outcomes, and epidemiology of the Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin-associated human diseases are hereby reviewed.
