  • Title: Germination of Bacillus cereus spores is induced by germinants from differentiated Caco-2 Cells, a human cell line mimicking the epithelial cells of the small intestine.
    Author: Wijnands LM, Dufrenne JB, van Leusden FM, Abee T.
    Journal: Appl Environ Microbiol; 2007 Aug; 73(15):5052-4. PubMed ID: 17545321.
    Abstract:
    Spores of 11 enterotoxigenic strains of Bacillus cereus isolated from foods and humans adhered with similar efficiencies to Caco-2 cells, whereas subsequent germination triggering was observed with only 8 of these strains. Notably, Hep-2 cells did not trigger germination, while spores of all strains displayed similar germination efficiencies in brain heart infusion broth.
