Toxins of Foodborne Pathogen Bacillus cereus and the Regulatory Factors Controlling the Biosynthesis of Its Toxins

Bacillus cereus is a versatile organism which causes two distinct types of food poisoning by producing toxins. Toxin formation in B. very much complex process involving co-regulation multiple genes exerting control at transcriptional, translational and post-translational level such regulations too are often influenced extrinsic factors. A comprehensive understanding factors crucial for holistic approaches strategies order to minimise risk. Hence, this review will focus on the intrinsic controlling toxin biosynthesis cereus.
