Hello.
Recently there was a discussion here concerning the existence of
pathogenic strains of B. cereus. Since we have this "little fella" in our
antibiotics lab, I was curious as to if our strain was one of the toxic
ones. Alas, I gave its ATCC number as #6633, which someone here mentioned
was B. subtilis. <---slaps herself upside head... Yup, we use that
strain of B. subtilis (and I use it lots more than I use the B. cereus!)
so I did get mixed up. Well....the B. cereus strain is ATCC #19167. I
went in there and wrote it down so I wouldn't get confused again. Now, is
it a pathogen? ;-)
Infectionately,
