An assay based on the PCR has been developed to facilitate detection and identification of Bacillus cereus in foods. Three primers for the PCR have been designed within the sequence for cereolysin AB, a cytolytic determinant that encodes lecithin-hydrolyzing and hemolytic activities of B. cereus. With the PCR and hybridization, the specificity of the primers was tested with 39 isolates of the B. cereus group, with 17 other Bacillus spp., and with 21 non-Bacillus strains. Results demonstrate a hi ...[more]
