Detection of Emetic Toxin Genes in Bacillus cereus Isolated from Food and their Production of Cereulide in Liquid Culture
2017-02-01
Abstract excerpt
Bacillus cereus is a Gram‐positive that is ubiquitous in foods and the wider environment. The B. cereus emetic toxin, cereulide, synthesized by nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS), can cause either gastrointestinal disorders and/or emetic form of food poisoning. In this study, 108 B. cereus isolates from foods were tested for a correlation between the presence of emetic toxin genes and cereulide production. Bas...
