HAMAP: Bacillus cereus (strain G9842) complete proteome
General information

Species:  Bacillus cereus (strain G9842)
Species code: BACC2
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Firmicutes; Bacillales; Bacillaceae; Bacillus; Bacillus cereus group (TaxID: 405531) [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 G9842 was isolated from stool samples from an outbreak that involved three individuals in the USA in 1996. The isolate was characterized by MLST typing using the MLSTDB scheme and is sequence type 56. Interestingly, sequence type 56 is quite unrelated to the major clade of pathogenic B. cereus isolates and will provide a great insight into its pathogenic potential through comparative analysis.
Properties: Presence of flagella: Yes
