The Association Between Onset of Staphylococcal Non-menstrual Toxic Shock Syndrome With Inducibility of Toxic Shock Syndrome Toxin-1 Production

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Non-menstrual toxic shock syndrome (non-mTSS) is a life-threatening disease caused by Staphylococcus aureus strains producing superantigens, such as staphylococcal enterotoxins A, B, C, and toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 (TSST-1).

Regulation of toxic shock syndrome toxin‐1 by the accessory gene regulator in Staphylococcus aureus is mediated by the repressor of toxins

Molecular Microbiology, 2019
Toxic shock syndrome toxin‐1 (TSST‐1) is a superantigen (SAg) produced by Staphylococcus aureus thought to be responsible for essentially all cases of menstrual‐associated toxic shock syndrome (TSS).
