A novel method for direct detection of Bacillus cereus toxin genes in powdered dairy products
2020-04-01
Abstract excerpt
Bacillus cereus is a major foodborne pathogen with the potential of causing emetic and diarrhoeal food poisoning. This study reports on the development of a sensitive and reliable method that involves direct DNA extraction from powdered milk and infant formula and a multiplex PCR for detection of four B. cereus toxin genes (nheA, hblD, cytK2 and cesB). Detection limits were 2 × 10² cfu g⁻¹ for enterotoxin genes an...
