Research on the Contamination Status and Control of Bacillus Cereus in Food

Bacillus cereus is a Gram-positive spore-forming bacterium widely present in the natural environment. The emetic and enterotoxins it produces can easily cause foodborne diseases, posing a serious threat to food safety. This article starts from the biological characteristics of Bacillus cereus, analyzes its contamination status in various foods, explores its pathogenic mechanism and influencing factors, and proposes targeted prevention and control strategies, aiming to provide theoretical references for reducing the contamination risk of Bacillus cereus in food and ensuring public food safety.
