Inhibitory Effect of Antimicrobial Food against Bacillus cereus

Antimicrobial Effects of Honey on Bacillus Cereus

Abstract Background and Objective: Honey is a healthy and nutritious food that has been used for a long time as a treatment for different diseases. One of the applied properties of honey is its antimicrobial effect, which differs between different types of honey due to variation of phenolic and antioxidant compositions. This study aimed to assess antimicrobial effect of honey on Bacillus cereu...

Antimicrobial Effect of Nisin against Bacillus cereus in Beef Jerky during Storage.

The microbial distribution of raw materials and beef jerky, and the effect of nisin on the growth of Bacillus cereus inoculated in beef jerky during storage, were studied. Five strains of pathogenic B. cereus were detected in beef jerky, and identified with 99.8% agreement using API CHB 50 kit. To evaluate the effect of nisin, beef jerky was inoculated with approximately 3 Log CFU/g of B. cereu...

Antibacterial effect of lactoperoxidase and myeloperoxidase against Bacillus cereus.

An oral periodontopathic bacterium, Bacillus cereus, was inhibited both by lactoperoxidase (LP) and myeloperoxidase (MP) antimicrobial systems. With the LP-SCN--H2O2 system, the growth inhibition was directly proportional to the amount of OSCN- ions present. The OSCN-, which is the principal oxidation product of the LP (or MP)-SCN--H2O2 system at neutral pH, is a normal component of human saliv...

Molecular epidemiology of Bacillus cereus food poisoning.

OBJECTIVES To investigate the potential use of DNA techniques in epidemiological diagnosis of Bacillus cereus food poisoning. SUBJECTS Fifty six B. cereus isolates from milk were studied. DESIGN The 56 B. cereus isolates were characterised into enterotoxin positive (27 isolates) and enterotoxin negative (29 isolates) using reverse passive latex agglutination technique. SETTING Plasmid and...
