Staphylococcal gastroenteritis is caused by ingestion of food contaminated with toxin produced by S. aureus superantigen. Some strains of S.s aureus are capable of producing staphyloxanthin acarotenoid pigment that act as a virulence factor. It has an antioxidant action that helps the microbe to evade killing with reactive oxygen used by the host immune system. It is thought that staphyloxanthin is responsible for S. aureus characteristic golden color ( Clouditz et al., 2006). It has been suggested that emphasis on basic hand washing techniques is effective in preventing the transmission of S. aureus. The use of disposable gloves by staff in the production factory could also reduce skin-to-skin contact which in turn reduces the risk of transmission.
