Dakic and his colleagues examined the genes encoding staphylococcal enterotoxins (sea to see, seg, and seh), toxic shock syndrome toxin 1 (tst), and exfoliative toxins (eta and etb) in a panel of 48 Staphylococcus sciuri group isolates from animals and did not find any these genes [41].
Five different screening scenarios were investigated in this cost-effectiveness analysis: (1) TST alone, (2) the T-SPOT.
A previous study [ 26] reported that S. carnosus TM300 lacks the known superantigens such as toxic shock syndrome toxin 1 (tst) and enterotoxins (sea to sep).
After extraction of the DNA performed according to Predari et al. [ 19], isolates were screened for genes encoding staphylococcal enterotoxins A (sea), toxic shock syndrome toxin 1 (tst), Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL; luk- PV) [ 2- 4].
Single and multiplex-PCR were applied for the detection of gyrase (gyr), methicillin resistance (mecA), Panton-Valentine-leukocidin (pvl), staphylococcal enterotoxins (sea-seu), toxic shock syndrome toxin 1 (tst), exfoliative toxins (eta, etb, etd), and agr groups 1 4 as previously reported [ 8].

One study analysed the alternative use of TST or IGRA [ 25] and seven studies compared the 1) TST-only, 2) positive TST followed by IGRA, and 3) IGRA-only strategies [ 21- 26, 26- 28].
Pooran et al. [ 21] analysed the cost-effectiveness of five different screening scenarios in contact tracing over a two-year time period in the UK using: 1) TST-only, 2) the T-SPOT.TB-only, 3) positive TST followed by T-SPOT.TB, 4) QFT-IT-only, and 5) positive TST followed by QFT-IT.
Among the patients with available follow-up QFT, 9/21 patients stayed QFT positive (5 TST+, 2 TST-, 2 missing TST), 9/21 patients with negative baseline QFT remained negative (5 TST-, 1 TST+, 3 missing TST) and 3/21 converted from QFT negative to positive after 12 months (2 TST+, 1 TST-), although one reverted to negative again at 24 months (TST-).
A multiplex PCR assay that allows for the rapid screening of the 19 genes that encode staphylococcal enterotoxins (SEs) (sea to see, and seg to sei), SE-like (SEl) toxins (sej to ser, and seu), and toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 (TSST-1) (tst) was developed in this study.
High-order cycles represented by white triangles are present in the LOGC 3 TST, which commences with the base of the Laframboise Member.
Among the 72 TST negatives, 50% were positive and 25% were negative for QFT-G.
