Which of these is a virulence factor of staphylococcus that allows it to cause food intoxication?

Staphylococcus aureus is almost a household name because it is so common and it has plenty of ways to cause infection in humans. The ‘staph’ is the primary cause of boils, folliculitis, impetigo, cellulitis, organ infection and sepsis, bone infections, bacteremia, and biofilms. When ingested and it reaches the intestine, the ‘staph’ has another nasty trick on its sleeve by producing enteroxins A and B, which cause food poisoning. Staphylococcus aureus can get into food when an ill person cough, sneezes, or spits into food. It takes one to six hours for the bacteria to produce toxins, which can make you sick for several minutes to three days.
