Effect of Water Activity on Enterotoxin A Production and Growth of Staphylococcus aureus

RESUMO
Previous studies indicated that enterotoxin B production by staphylococci was strongly inhibited by slight reductions in water activity (aw) levels. Similar studies reported herein, employing an enterotoxin A-producing strain, indicated that this organism was capable of producing enterotoxin at a much lower aw level than that required for enterotoxin B production. Staphylococcal growth rates were slowed by decreased aw levels in all media tested; however, final cell counts did not drop below 108/ml in the media with the lowest aw levels.
