Thermal inactivation and reactivation kinetics of staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) were studied in buffer and certain liquid food systems using three serological techniques (single-gel diffusion method, radioimmunoassay, and microslide). Heating temperatures were 80–100 C and times were 0–5 min. Initial toxin concentrations employed were 0.008–5 μg/ml. Inactivation of SEB was faster in the earlier stages of heating and was much slower during continued heating. With the exception of phosphate buffered saline, reactivation of heated SEB was observed even when with small initial quantities of SEB. Reactivation (% activity) was greater when the heating time was shorter at any temperature.

ABSTRACT The superantigenic staphylococcal enterotoxins are important virulence factors and contribute to various diseases, including food poisoning and toxic shock. Dexamethasone, an anti-inflammatory agent, attenuated staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB)-induced hypothermia and serum proinflammatory cytokines and improved survival from 0% to 86% in a lethal mouse model of SEB-mediated shock.
