Bacillus cereus is a gram-positive bacillus that is ubiquitously present in the environment, often regarded as a contaminant when isolated in clinical testing. Cases of B. cereus causing lower respiratory tract infections are sparse, with less than 20 reported in the literature, and

A Cluster of CNS Infections Due to B. cereus in the Setting of Acute Myeloid Leukemia: Neuropathology in 5 Patients.

Only registered users can translate articles

Bacillus cereus typically causes a self-limited foodborne gastrointestinal (GI) illness. Severe invasive infection occurs rarely, mainly among immunocompromised hosts. We describe a cluster of B. cereus infections among 5 patients with acute myeloid leukemia and chemotherapy-induced neutropenia. The

Fatal Bacillus cereus meningoencephalitis in an adult with acute myelogenous leukemia.

Only registered users can translate articles

Bacillus cereus, a ubiquitous, endospore-forming, aerobic gram-positive bacillus, is primarily associated with toxin-mediated food poisoning. Frequently, isolates of Bacillus species from clinical specimens are discussed as contaminants. We report a rapidly fatal case of disseminated infection due
