Characteristic and Antimicrobial Resistance of Bacillus cereus Group Isolated from Food in Poland by Joanna Kowalska, Elżbieta Maćkiw, Dorota Korsak, Jacek Postupolski

“…The objective of this study was to investigate the occurrence of B. cereus (conducted as part of monitoring in 2017-2018) and the presence of a toxin gene in strains isolated from retail products (pastries/cakes; vegetables, spices, delicatessen products) in Poland, and to determine the susceptibility of these microorganisms to different antimicrobial agents. A total of 267 B. cereus isolates from food products were examined, of which 95.51% were found positive for the presence of at least one toxin gene, with the highest frequency of the nhe gene (91.39%). …”
