In this study we have isolated Staphylococcus aureus in cheese, salami and whipped cream, gathered in the city of Lima, with the aim of identifying the presence of enterotoxins through the technique of the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). Via the method of the International Commission on Microbiological Specifications for Foods (ICMSF) we found that Staphylococcus aureus were present in 75% of cheese samples, 44% of sausage samples but absent in whipped cream samples. 46% of cheese samples showed counts of S. aureus greater than 105 CFU / g. Using the technique of multiplex PCR for identification of staphylococcal enterotoxins SEA, SEB, SEC, SED, SEE, we found that 5% of the strains were carrying the gene sea, 5% were carrying the gene seb and 5% were carrying the gene sec, and 85% test negative of any classical enterotoxin, we can conclud that cold meats and cheeses sold in Lima are contaminated with S. aureus and some with enterotoxigenic strains.
