Dear Colleagues,

As announced during the last workshop of the NRLs for Coagulase Positive Staphylococci (Maisons-Alfort, 04-06 June 2014), we are organising a training session on the confirmatory ELISA method (quantitative) for the identification and quantification of staphylococcal enterotoxins (types SEA to SEE) in food matrices.

This quantitative ELISA method will be also used in the aim of the certification of the future certified reference material (CRM) which will be organized by the IRMM-JRC.

Dear Colleagues,

As announced during the last workshop of the NRLs for Coagulase Positive Staphylococci (Maisons-Alfort, 04-06 June 2014), we are organising a training session on the detection of staphylococcal enterotoxins (types SEA to SEE) according to the ESM v5 (Extraction by dialysis-concentration and detection using at least Vidas SET2 or Ridascreen SET Total kits).

Dear Colleagues,

Further to the dispatch of the report, it has been amended by the following modifications :

-          the list of the laboratories which have not participated to the trial being added,

-          the Austrian laboratory added in annex.

The report is now available on our website: https://sites.anses.fr/en/minisite/staphylococci/circular-letter?circular_letter=08
