Abstract
A large and diverse group of coagulase-negative staphylococci were assayed for the ability to produce toxic shock syndrome toxin 1 (TSST-1) by immunological reactivity, and whole-cell DNAs from 33 of these strains were hybridized with a TSST-1-specific gene probe. None of the strains tested, including isolates that have been reported as TSST-1+, produced the exotoxin, and no DNA homology was found with the gene probe.Entities:
