Bacillus cereus

◑ Environmental
Sequenced
Public genome assembly available

Bacillus cereus is a gram-positive, spore-forming bacterium that is primarily recognized as an opportunistic foodborne pathogen capable of producing toxins associated with gastrointestinal illness; it is not classified as a probiotic organism. Research on this species focuses on pathogenicity characterization, food safety, and antimicrobial resistance rather than beneficial health applications. No strain-specific probiotic or beneficial health evidence was identified for this entry in the indexed literature.

Strains of this species

19 strains of Bacillus cereus in the index, with 330 linked papers between them.

Bacillus cereus N25

DEP N25

Bacillus cereus N25 appears in the indexed literature primarily in the context of fermentation microbiology and agricultural antimicrobial resistance genomics, rather than as a probiotic strain with human health evidence.
