Germination of Bacillus cereus spores is induced by germinants from differentiated caco-2 cells, a human cell line mimicking the epithelial cells of the small intestine (2007)

Wijnands, L.M., Dufrenne, J.B., Abee, T.

Spores of 11 enterotoxigenic strains of Bacillus cereus isolated from foods and humans adhered with similar efficiencies to Caco-2 cells, whereas subsequent germination triggering was observed with...

Spores from mesophilic Bacillus cereus strains germinate better and grow faster in simulated gastro-intestinal conditions than spores from psychrotrophic strains (2006)

Wijnands, L.M., Dufrenne, J.B., Zwietering, M.H.

The species Bacillus cereus, known for its ability to cause food borne disease, consists of a large variety of strains. An important property for discrimination of strains is their growth temperature...

Prevalence of potentially pathogenic Bacillus cereus in food commodities in The Netherlands (2006)

Wijnands, L.M., Dufrenne, J.B., Rombouts, F.M.

Randomly selected food commodities, categorized in product groups, were investigated for the presence and number of Bacillus cereus bacteria. If positive, and when possible, five separate colonies...

Wijnands, L. M., Dufrenne, J. B., Van Leusden, F. M., Abee, T.

Spores of 11 enterotoxigenic strains of Bacillus cereus isolated from foods and humans adhered with similar efficiencies to Caco-2 cells, whereas subsequent germination triggering was observed with...
