HAMAP: Bacillus cereus (strain AH820) complete proteome
General information

Species:  Bacillus cereus (strain AH820)
Species code: BACC0
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Firmicutes; Bacillales; Bacillaceae; Bacillus; Bacillus cereus group (TaxID: 405535) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description: Bacillus cereus is a Gram-positive, spore-forming bacterium of the B.cereus group. It is closely related to Bacillus anthracis and Bacillus thuringiensis. Bacillus cereus is a ubiquitous soil organism and opportunistic human pathogen most commonly associated with food poisoning, causing diarrheic (late onset) or emetic (quick onset) outbreaks.

B. cereus AH820 was isolated in 1995 in Norway, from the periodontal pocket of a 76 year old female patient with marginal periodontitis. It very close to the B. anthracis cluster using MLST analyses, and is 100% identical in all 7 loci to 3 other periodontal B. cereus isolates, suggesting that these human pathogens form a distinct clade within the group.
