A study in Italy reported that the prevalence of enterotoxin genes for S. aureus was 58.8% in meat and dairy products [1]. Therefore, as was the case in the prevalence and antimicrobial resistance data, toxin gene possession can also vary by meat type, processing facility, location, and brand. It is interesting to report that the prevalence of toxin genes in retail meat samples in this study appears generally lower than those previously reported in human Staphylococcus aureus (both MSSA and MRSA) with the exception of hemolysin genes where the prevalence was only slightly lower than in the human strains [37].
