Sporulation is dispensable for the vegetable-associated life cycle of the human pathogen Bacillus cereus

Maria Luisa Antequera-Gomez et al.

Summary: Bacillus cereus is a common food-borne pathogen that can cause food poisoning in humans, with symptoms of vomiting or diarrhea. The study found that sporulation is necessary for the survival of B. cereus in leaves, but not essential in ready-to-eat vegetables. It also highlighted the underestimated number of food poisoning cases associated with B. cereus and the need to revise detection protocols based on spores and toxins.
