Differences in β-lactamase activity and carbapenem resistance among the Bacillus cereus group [PDF]

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy
The Bacillus cereus group causes severe nosocomial infections. This group carries the chromosomal β-lactamases, including bla1 and BcII, which contribute to β-lactam resistance; however, the β-lactam resistance mechanisms are poorly understood.

Investigating environmental transmission to resolve a Bacillus cereus group outbreak in a neonatal intensive care unit using core genome multilocus sequence typing [PDF]

Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control
Background We analyzed an outbreak of Bacillus cereus group (Bcg) at a single-center neonatal intensive care unit level IV by conducting comprehensive sampling of both patients and the environment.

Laboratory Misidentifications Resulting from Taxonomic Changes to Bacillus cereus Group Species, 2018–2022 [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2022
Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) is being applied increasingly to Bacillus cereus group species; however, misinterpretation of WGS results may have severe consequences. We report 3 cases, 1 of which was an outbreak, in which misinterpretation of B.

Diagnostic challenges within the Bacillus cereus-group: finding the beast without teeth [PDF]

New Microbes and New Infections, 2022
The Bacillus cereus-group (B. cereus sensu lato) includes common, usually avirulent species, often considered contaminants of patient samples in routine microbiological diagnostics, as well as the highly virulent B. anthracis.

Antimicrobial and Phylogenomic Characterization of Bacillus cereus Group Strains Isolated from Different Food Sources in Italy [PDF]

Antibiotics
Background: Bacillus cereus is a widespread environmental Gram-positive bacterium which is especially common in soil and dust. It produces two types of toxins that cause vomiting and diarrhea.
