Abstract
An analysis was made of 205 sarnples of foods, and of 382 straíns of StaphylococcU8 aureU8. The analysis included two classes of foods:
a) 158 sarnples not involved in. food-borne intoxications with256 strains; b) 47 samples of foods involved in food-borne diseases. A strain was isolated which did not produce DNAse or T~Ase from macaroni while powder milk and fried beef steak yielded strains which produced DNAse but not TNAse. So, the results of DNAse and TNAse were not in agreement. All strains isolated from class bsamples produced both DNAse and TNAse.
