Advances in microbial food safety
註釋The aerobic spore-forming bacteria of the Bacillus genus have been identified in many environmental niches, including food production. Their ubiquity and the resistance of their endospores to the various operations used in food processing contribute to their presence in foods, while their ability to adapt to a wide range of temperatures, pH and nutrient sources promotes their multiplication. Several Bacillus species, mainly Bacillus cereus, have been implicated in foodborne gastroenteritis. New virulence factors have been identified and several phylogenetic groups of B. cereus sensu lato have been defined. The control of Bacillus spp. requires the inactivation of spores or the inhibition of cell growth using a variety of techniques.
