One hundred sixty-five samples of various foods were collected from 24 different Chinese take-out restaurants for bacteriological examination which included enumeration of Bacillus cereus by three media, MYP, KG and blood agars. Blood agar was less selective but no quantitative differences in
Thirty of 53 different raw and cooked or processed foods obtained in Central Thailand were demonstrated to contain Bacillus cereus. The level of contamination was found to depend on the type of food sampled; the mean was 3.2 X 10(6) organisms/gm on raw and cooked or processed foods ready for
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the prevalence and genotypic/phenotypic characters of emetic toxin-producing Bacillus cereus strains isolated from sporadic food poisoning cases in Korea.
RESULTS
The prevalence of emetic B. cereus was determined in 56 899 stool samples from sporadic food poisoning cases in
Sunsik, a ready-to-eat food in Korea, is comprised of various agricultural and marine products, and has been an important concern in Bacillus cereus food poisoning. The aim of this study was to investigate the toxin profiles, genotypic and phenotypic patterns as well as antibiotic resistance of B.
Bacillus cereus was divided into emetic toxin (cereulide)- and enterotoxin-producing strains, but emetic toxin-producing B. cereus is difficult to detect immunochemically. Screening methods for emetic toxin-producing B. cereus are needed. The objectives of this study were to identify and detect
Korean fermented soybean products, such as doenjang, kochujang, ssamjang, and cho-kochujang, can harbor foodborne pathogens such as Bacillus cereus sensu lato (B. cereus sensu lato). The aim of this study was to characterize the toxin gene profiles, biochemical characteristics, and antibiotic
An in-depth polyphasic approach was applied to study the population structure of the human pathogen Bacillus cereus. To assess the intraspecific biodiversity of this species, which is the causative agent of gastrointestinal diseases, a total of 90 isolates from diverse geographical origin were
Identification techniques for Bacillus cereus are unsettled even though there is an increased awareness of the organism's potential public health implications. Biochemical and morphological characteristics of 17 strains of B. cereus , including 10 isolated from confirmed foodborne outbreaks, were
