Staphylococcus argenteusis a novel species subdivided from Staphylococcus aureus. Whether this species can cause food poisoning outbreaks is unknown. This study aimed to investigate the enterotoxigenic activities of two food poisoning isolates suspected to beS. argenteus(Tokyo13064 and Tokyo13069). The results for phylogenic trees, constructed via whole genome sequencing, demonstrated that both isolates were more similar to a type strain ofS. argenteus(MSHR1132) than anyS. aureusstrain. Moreover, the representative characteristics ofS. argenteuswere present in both strains, namely both isolates belong to the CC75 lineage and both lack acrtOPQMNoperon. Thus, both were determined to be “S. argenteus.” The compositions of the two isolates' accessory elements differed from those of MSHR1132. For example, theseb-related Staphylococcus aureus pathogenicity island, SaPIishikawa11, was detected in Tokyo13064 and Tokyo13069 but not in MSHR1132. Both isolates were suggested to belong to distinct lineages that branched off from MSHR1132 lineages in terms of accessory elements. Tokyo13064 and Tokyo13069 expressed high levels ofs(arg)eband produced S(arg)EB protein, indicating that both have the ability to cause food poisoning. Our findings suggest thatS. argenteusharboring particular accessory elements can cause staphylococcal diseases such as food poisoning, similarly toS. aureus.
