Staphylococcus aureus

Japanese: 黄色ブドウ球菌 - おうしょくブドウきゅうきん(英語表記)Staphylococcus aureus
Staphylococcus aureus
The most pathogenic of all staphylococci. A common bacterium, it is the cause of wound suppuration. When it grows in food, it produces a toxin (enterotoxin). This toxin is heat-resistant, so food poisoning can occur even if the food is heated. The onset of illness is short, occurring one to four hours after eating, and symptoms include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Generally, symptoms are mild, and recovery takes place within one or two days.
