​Infectious Diseases and Microbiology - Food Poisoning ( Bacillus Cereus)

​Infectious Diseases and Microbiology - Bacillus cereus
Food poisoning, eye infections, and infections that occur in intravenous catheters are examples of diseases. due to the infection.
Identifying Features: Endospores from a Gram-positive rod are produced.
The term "intoxication" refers to food poisoning. Spores are able to germinate when food is kept at room temperature, despite the fact that they are able to live at the typical cooking temperatures. The bacteria are responsible for the production of two distinct toxins: heat-stable emetic toxin and heat-labile enterotoxin. Meats and vegetables that have been infected with the heat-labile toxin are associated with those foods. An association has been made between fried rice and the heat-stable toxin. 

Watery diarrhea is one of the symptoms of food poisoning, which can appear anywhere from six to twenty-four hours after consumption.
manifestations of contaminated meats, poultry, or vegetables, as well as vomiting, which may develop anywhere from one to six hours after the consumption of contaminated fried rice or other foods. For example, acute eye injuries and infections connected to intravenous catheters are examples of opportunistic presentations.

The toxin that is sensitive to heat causes cellular adenylate cyclase to be stimulated, which results in an increase in cAMP and diarrhea that is watery. An unidentified mechanism is responsible for the heat-stable toxin's ability to induce vomiting.

In the treatment of food poisoning, fluid replacement is administered. As a result of resistance to several antibiotics, vancomycin is frequently required for the treatment of blood and ocular infections due to prevention. Food poisoning can be avoided by properly managing food, which includes storing it in the refrigerator and heating it to a temperature higher than 56 degrees Celsius before eating it (heat-labile toxin).
