Enterotoxins<br />

Thus, once a food product has been contaminated with<br />

enterotoxin-producing staphylococci and the toxin have<br />

been produced, neither reheating the food nor the digestive<br />

process will be protective.<br />

Enterotoxins C and D are found in contamined milk<br />

products, and enterotoxin B causes staphylococcal<br />

pseudomembranous enterocolitis.
