Abstract:Bacillus cereus is a Gram-positive bacillus, which widely exists in the natural environment and has strong resistance to adverse environment. It is a kind of foodborne conditional pathogen that affects both humans and animals. Bacillus cereus can produce a variety of toxins that determine its pathogenicity. Therefore, the establishment of a rapid and accurate method for the detection of Bacillus cereus is very important for the diagnosis and timely treatment of the disease. This paper comprehensively summarizes the methods of detecting bacteria and toxins of Bacillus cereus in recent years, mainly compares the principle, detection range, advantages and disadvantages of each method, and discusses the feasibility of the new method, with a view to scientific provide basis and ideas for detection and identification of Bacillus cereus.
