Studied was the capacity of 243 S. aureus strains to produce enterotoxin D after they were isolated from food products. It was found that 3.3 per cent of the strains produced enterotoxin D, the simultaneous production of A and D toxins being established in 2.5 per cent of the cases. The detection of an enterotoxin of such antigenic type pointed to its demonstration in cases of food intoxication as well as when hygiene control of food products was carried out.
