exhibited resistance to different antimicrobials. In addition, different
toxins genes existed in many S. aureus isolates. Since the same brands
of infant foods are available and consumed in other provinces, these
results may provide useful information for the assessment of the possible
risk posed to Chinese consumers by infant foods and for enacting
appropriate microbiological criteria for infant food in China. Further
research is necessary to determine the survival and growth characteristics
of S. aureus and its toxin production in reconstituted PIF and IRC
