Enterotoxin and Emetic Toxin Genes Profiles and Genetic Diversity of Bacillus cereus Isolated from Food, Environmental and Clinical Samples in Serbia

Bacillus cereus, usually ingested by food, can cause two types of disease due to the presence of toxins: vomiting and diarrhea syndrome. Systemic infections can also occur. The aim was to detect genes for enterotoxins (hblA, entFM) and emetic toxin (cer) and to investigate the genetic heterogeneity...
