Bacillus cereus
[ send me this essay ]
A 9 page paper discussing characteristics of the organism and its ability to cause disease. Though B. cereus food contamination apparently is not a condition against which sufficient protection is possible, it can be managed so that risk of disease from B. cereus food poisoning can be minimized. Most of the cases of food poisoning resulting from the metabolites of this organism still go unreported and even unrecognized in the diarrheal form, but study of the cases that are reported may be useful in the study of the more serious manifestations of B. cereus contamination such as gangrene and other conditions. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
