  • Title: Production of an emetic toxin, cereulide, is associated with a specific class of Bacillus cereus.
    Author: Agata N, Ohta M, Mori M.
    Journal: Curr Microbiol; 1996 Jul; 33(1):67-9. PubMed ID: 8661692.
    Abstract:
    The emetic toxin (cereulide) of Bacillus cereus was quantified in several isolates of B. cereus and in various food sources. When the emetic toxin was produced, vomiting-type food poisoning was observed in humans. We also found that the H-1 serovar phenotype was strongly associated with the production of cereulide and that none of the isolates that hydrolyzed starch or expressed diarrheal enterotoxin activity produced cereulide.
