Real-time-PCR-System zum Nachweis von Bacillus cereus (emetischer Typ) in Lebensmitteln

Bacillus cereus is a Gram-positive, facultative anaerobic, spore-performing bacterium. Some B. cereus strains have the ability to produce two different types of toxins: (a) diarrhoeic toxin: the disease is similar to a C. perfringens toxin-infection; it is caused by a heat-labile protein, (b) emetic toxin: the disease is similar to Staphylococcus-aureus intoxikation; it is caused by a heat-stable protein.
