Nineteen strains of Salmonella enterica belonging to seven serovars and two strains of S. bongori were investigated for enterotoxin production by the Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell assay and Dot-ELISA. All the 19 strains were found to carry stn gene when tested by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using specific primers for stn sequence. Thirteen strains (68.42%) were found to produce Salmonella enterotoxin (Stn) when tested by the CHO cell assay. Dot-ELISA could detect Stn in 16 strains (84.21%). Dot-ELISA may be preferred over other assays due to its low cost and simplicity in performance.
