Abstract:To understand the enterotoxins, biofilm forming ability, enterotoxins and biofilm formation related genes of Staphylococcus aureus in pigeon slaughter and processing. Determination of enterotoxin content and biofilm formation ability of 41 strains of Staphylococcus aureus using Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin enzyme-linked immunoassay kit and crystal violet staining method,12 enterotoxin genes and 10 biofilm formation-related genes of Staphylococcus aureus were also amplified by PCR. 41 strains of Staphylococcus aureus with 30 enterotoxin-producing strains in enterotoxin enzyme-linked immunoassays. In the detection of enterotoxin genes, 35 strains of bacteria contained enterotoxin genes, the detection rate was 85.36%, and have carried one or more enterotoxin genes. The detection rates of classical enterotoxin genes were, respectively: sea(29.27%)、seb(29.27%)、sec(4.88%)、sed(65.85%)and see(2.44%); The detection rates of novel enterotoxin genes were, respectively: sel(36.59%)、seg(29.27%)、sem(17.07%)、seu(17.07%)、sei(14.63%)、seh(7.32%)and sek(0.00%). The detection rates of weak, moderate and strong biofilm forming ability of the strain as determined by crystalline violet staining were 39.02%, 43.90% and 17.07%, respectively. Biofilm formation-related genes in the assay, clfB, luxS and clfA had the highest detection rate of 100.00% each, followed by sarA and ccp both at 97.56%, the detection rates of sigB, cna, icaA, and agrC were 85.37%, 65.85%, 41.46%, and 2.44%, respectively, bap not detected. In addition, all strains were found to carry multiple biofilm-related genes, the highest number of strains carrying 7 genes (15/41, 36.59%). Major of enterotoxins and higher biofilm formation capacity of Staphylococcus aureus in pigeon slaughter and processing contamination, predicted pathogenicity of Staphylococcus aureus in the slaughter and processing of this pigeon, potential risk of food poisoning.
