AB  - The vaginal colonization with Staphylococcus aureus, including strains that have 
      methicillin resistance and production of toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 (TSST-1), 
      enterotoxins and protease was studied in 308 women at the time of delivery. 
      Thirty-six of these women were colonized with S. aureus in the vagina. All of the 
      isolates were methicillin sensitive S. aureus (MSSA), except one women who had 
      both methicillin resistant S. aureus (MRSA) and MSSA. The strains, included MRSA, 
      did not elaborate the TSST-1 and produced protease. The distribution of protease 
      pattern (types) observed by MSSA strains on standard methods caseinate agar 
      plates was type A, 1 strain; type B, 15 strains; type C, 6 strains; type D, 14 
      strains. Sixteen of the 36 strains produced non of the enterotoxins and 20 
      strains produced enterotoxins and the type distribution was enterotoxin type A, 6 
      strains; type B, 10 strains; type C, 1 strain; A and B, 1 strain; A, B and C, 2 
      strains. These results provide the possibility of pathogenic S. aureus colonized 
      in vagina transmit to neonates at the time of delivery.
