Physical characteristics of spores of food-associated isolates of the Bacillus cereus group.

چکیده
All 47 food-borne isolates of Bacillus cereus sensu stricto, as well as 10 of 12 food-borne, enterotoxigenic isolates of Bacillus thuringiensis, possessed appendages. Spores were moderately to highly hydrophobic, and each had a net negative charge. These characteristics indicate that spores of food-associated B. thuringiensis and not only B. cereus sensu stricto have high potential to adhere to inert surfaces.

Distribution and toxin genes of Bacillus cereus spores isolated from vegetables
The objectives of this study were to evaluate the prevalence of Bacillus cereus spores in vegetables and to investigate the toxigenic characteristics of spore isolates. The detection rate of spores was 26.7% (12 out of 45 samples) which possess a higher risk of food poisoning than vegetative cell. The occurrence rate of toxin genes in spore isolates were 91.7, 100 and 100% for hblCDA, nheABC an...

The Bacillus cereus group contains vertebrate pathogens such as Bacillus anthracis and Bacillus cereus and the invertebrate pathogen Bacillus thuringiensis. Microbial biopesticides based on B. thuringiensis (Bt) are widely recognized as being among the safest and least environmentally damaging insecticidal products available. Nevertheless, a recent food poisoning incident prompted a European Fo...
