Overview

Bacillus cereus is a rod-shaped, gram-positive bacterium. Some strains of B. cereus cause foodpoisoning and other diseases such as keratitis. B. cereus grows at a wide range of temperature, from 4°C to 37°C. In fact, many foodborne illnesses caused by B. cereus are a consequence of improperly cooked or improperly stored food, including dairy products and meats. The majority of food poisoning by B. cereus could be divided into two types of symptoms – the emetic type and the diarrheal type, both of which are caused by the enterotoxin produced by the bacteria.

TaqMan PCR Kit - Figure 1. Example of TaqMan PCR Positive result. Both PCR signals above the baseline from FAM and HEX channel indicate the successful PCR.

TaqMan PCR Kit - Figure 2. Example of TaqMan PCR Negative result. No target DNA was detected in FAM channel but amplification signal from HEX indicates the successful PCR.

TaqMan PCR Kit - Figure 3. Example of TaqMan PCR inhibition result. No signal from both FAM and HEX channel was detected. It is suggested to repeat the sample preparation using recommended kit for DNA purification.
