Sixty samples of half- cooked chicken (chicken wings, chicken drumsticks and chicken pane) (20 each) were collected from Menofia governorate and were examined for the incidence of Staphylococcus aureusand their enterotoxins. The percentage of positive samples for S.aureus was 40%, 40% and 25% with mean count0.4X102 ±0.15X102 , 0.28X102 ±0.2X 102 and 0.19X102 ±0.2X102 for chicken wings, chicken drumsticks and chicken panes, respectively.. All isolated strains of S.aureusshowed positive Catalase, Coagulase and Mannitol Fermentation test and 100% of isolates had hemolytic activity on sheep blood agar and 9.52% had hemolytic activity on human blood agar.
