Database resources of the national center for biotechnology information

Eric W. Sayers et al.

Summary: The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) produces a variety of online information resources for biology, including databases for nucleic acid sequences and life science journal citations. It provides search and retrieval operations for most of these data from 35 distinct databases, with E-utilities serving as the programming interface. Several resources received significant updates in the past year.

Bacillus cytotoxicus-A potentially virulent food-associated microbe

Jessica Cairo et al.

Summary: Bacillus cytotoxicus, a member of the Bacillus cereus group, is capable of growing at high temperatures and producing a unique cytotoxin. Its role as a causative agent of food poisoning is still largely unclear, despite being associated with food-borne outbreaks.

Recent paradigm shifts in the perception of the role of Bacillus thuringiensis in foodborne disease

Michael Biggel et al.

Summary: Plant protection products based on Bacillus thuringiensis are widely used biopesticides, but there are concerns about its residues causing diarrheal illness in humans. In order to improve risk assessment, this article provides an overview of the role of B. thuringiensis in foodborne infections and identifies research gaps.

Occurrence of selected bacterial pathogens in insect-based food products and in-depth characterisation of detected Bacillus cereus group isolates

Hendrik Frentzel et al.

Summary: Insect-based foods generally have low levels of pathogenic bacteria, but there is still a potential food safety risk, especially from species of the Bacillus cereus group and Clostridium perfringens. It is necessary to enhance microbial testing and control for insect foods.

Comparative phenotypic, genotypic and genomic analyses of Bacillus thuringiensis associated with foodborne outbreaks in France

Mathilde Bonis et al.

Summary: This study revealed that Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) could be a major causative agent of foodborne outbreaks (FBOs), with most FBO-associated Bt isolates showing a genetic relationship. More than 51% of Bt isolates were found in dishes containing raw vegetables, particularly tomatoes.
