Production of enterotoxin is a characteristic of tss, right?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not an enterotoxin: Tss is caused by the production of a toxin produced by some staph aureus or group a streptococci that functions as a super antigen causing prominent activation of the immune response resulting in what is called cytokine storm.
