Staphylococcal food poisoning is caused by eating foods contaminated with enterotoxins produced during the growth of certain strains of Staphylococcus aureus. The enterotoxins A, B, C, D and E play an important role in the pathogenesis of staphylococcal food poisoning which is normally characterized by nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea.Use Staphylococcal Enterotoxin RPLA test for simple and semi-quantitative detection of staphylococcal enterotoxins in food samples.
• Simple – easy to implement
• Visual – easy to read resultsIn a standard agglutination assay, soluble antibody reacts with particulate antigen such as bacterial cells. However, in a REVERSED agglutination assay the antibody, which is attached to particles, reacts with the soluble antigen. The particles (in this case, latex) do not themselves play a part in the reaction and they are therefore PASSIVE. The cross-linking of the latex particles by the specific antigen/antibody reaction results in the visible LATEX AGGLUTINATION reaction.The SET-RPLA test kit is based upon the reports by Shingaki et al.^1 and Oda et al.^2It was developed under the guidance of the Tokyo Metropolitan Research Laboratory of Public Health.Not all products are available for sale in all territories.
