The Diverse Faces of Bacillus Cereus
Vincenzo Savini
"The Diverse Faces of Bacillus cereus elucidates salient characteristics of this microorganism, from its environmental and ecologic relevance, to its veterinary involvement and its medical aspects, the latter including several and diverse syndromes such as the most common Bacillus cereus-associated foodborne poisoning and the less frequent airway disease mimicking anthrax. Bacillus cereus has an almost ubiquitary environmental distribution and may cause serious, even fatal, human diseases as well. The bacterium, nevertheless, is also used as a biocontrol agent to face microorganism-related vegetable decay due to its natural antimicrobial properties. Once considered as a mere colonizer or contaminant, in fact, Bacillus cereus is nowadays acquiring increasing importance both as an agent of infections and as an organism of biotechnological and agricultural interest. Also, researchers, clinicians, and students alike will benefit from this clear compendium on the phenotype-based and molecular techniques and procedures that may be adopted or followed to correctly identify this intriguing multi-faceted microorganism."--
