The aim of this study was to determine the presence of genes for staphylococcal enterotoxins in 32 isolates of Staphylococcus aureus from 75 samples (sheep, cow and goat raw milk) collected from sub-clinically and clinically sick sheep, goats and cows raised in different agricultural farms in the Eastern region of Slovakia and also from 12 samples of sheep cheeses. Fifteen isolates of S. aureus carried the gene for enterotoxin C (SEC): 12 from sheep milk and one from each of goat and cow milk and sheep cheese. Fifteen isolates carried the gene for enterotoxin D (SED): 12 from sheep milk, two from cow milk and one from sheep cheese. Two isolates carried the genes for enterotoxins A (SEA) and B (SEB): one positive isolate for SEA from sheep milk and the other SEB from sheep cheese.
