Abstract

Staphylococcus spp. are gram-positive cocci of Microccaceae family, facultative anaerobic, real estate, don’t produce spores and catalase positive with wide distribution. It is one of the most common agents responsible for outbreaks of food poisoning, because they are usually transmitted to food. The poisoning is caused by ingestion of preformed enterotoxin in food contaminated by the bacterium, which can remain viable or not. Demonstrations by these agents can lead to diseases that are caused by the action of these pathogenic microorganisms or their toxina. There are many symptoms that can easily be confused with food poisoning from other microorganisms. Therefore it is necessary a more comprehensive study of the epidemiology and the forms of infection through food.
