Bacillus cereus food poisoning
1978
Terranova, William | Blake, Paul A.
The pathogenesis, diagnosis, prevention and treatment of Bacillus cereus food poisoning are discussed. Details about outbreaks in the United States are reported. There appear to be two distinct clinical forms of this foodborne disease. One, the emetic form associated with contaminated fried rice, has a short incubation period and is characterized by predominately upper gastrointestinal tract symptoms, rather like staphylococcal food poisoning. The other is a diarrheal form. Proper food handling practices will prevent the disease. Boiled rice must be promptly refrigerated.
