Bacillus cereus is a Gram positive and spore- forming bacrerium that is widely distributed in the environment. This bacterium is a human opportunistic pathogen and can cause diarrhoeal and emetic types of food poisoning . The diarrhoeal illnesses can be caused by hemolysin BL (HBL) non-hemolytic (NHE) and cytotoxin K. Bacillus cereus is a spore- formingbacterium ,and so could tolerate harsh environmental conditions such as lack of nutients and improper temperatures. |
