It is a bacterium found in the soil. The endospores are usually what make you sick. They can survive the cooking process when food is not cooked properly. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
Bacillus cereus is a Gram positive, soil dwelling ,beta hemolytic , endemic bacterium. It causes food borne diseases.It is a facultative anaerobe and like other members of the genus Bacillus,, produces endospores.
Some examples of pathogenic Bacillus bacteria include Bacillus anthracis, which causes anthrax, and Bacillus cereus, which can cause food poisoning through the production of toxins in contaminated food.
Bacteria such as Bacillus cereus, Clostridium perfringens, and Staphylococcus aureus are common culprits for contamination in starchy foods like rice, potatoes, and pasta. These bacteria can produce toxins that cause food poisoning when the contaminated food is consumed. Proper storage, handling, and cooking techniques can help prevent contamination by these bacteria.
Bacillus cereus itself does not typically produce a foul odor. However, some strains can cause food spoilage and may be associated with off-odors due to the breakdown of food materials they affect. The presence of a foul odor is more often linked to the decomposition of the food rather than the bacteria directly. Proper food handling and storage can help minimize the risk of odor and spoilage.
Polymyxin B is the agar and broth that is used for bacillus cereus for cultivation.
