AB  - AIM: To determine toxigenicity and other basic characteristics of 47 strains of 
      Staphylococcus aureus referred to the National Reference Laboratory for 
      Staphylococci (NRL) as suspected causative agents of menstrual toxic shock 
      syndrome (MTSS). MATERIAL AND METHODS: S. aureus strains were collected from 11 
      administrative regions of the Czech Republic in 1997-2011. The diagnosis was 
      based on phenotypic (reverse latex agglutination test) and genotypic (polymerase 
      chain reaction) methods. RESULTS: Forty-four S. aureus strains were producers of 
      toxic shock syndrome toxin 1 (TSST-1), either alone or in combination with 
      staphylococcal enterotoxin. Three strains only produced enterotoxin (B, C, and 
      H). CONCLUSION: MTSS is a serious multisystem disease. In this study, MTSS often 
      had a severe course requiring intensive care. All MTSS patients used vaginal 
      tampons that had been identified in the literature as a risk factor for MTSS. The 
      case of MTSS in a 36-year-old woman caused by an enterotoxin H positive strain of 
      S. aureus is probably the first to be reported in the world.
