A poisonous cocktail: interplay of cereulide toxin and its structural isomers in emetic Bacillus cereus
26 Mar 2024
Abstract excerpt
Food intoxications evoked by emetic Bacillus cereus strains constitute a serious threat to public health, leading to emesis and severe organ failure. The emetic peptide toxin cereulide, assembled by the non-ribosomal peptide synthetase CesNRPS, cannot be eradicated from contaminated food by usual hygienic measures due to its molecular size and structural stability. Next to cereulide, diverse chemical variants...
