Bacillus cereus culture
MODEL RELEASED. Bacillus cereus culture. Microbiologist holding a petri dish containing a culture of B. cereus bacteria. B. cereus is a Gram positive, spore forming bacteria found in soil, water and on food. It produces an idigestible toxin that causes foodborne illness. It is particularly prevalent on rice that has been cooked and then improperly refrigerated. When the rice is reheated, the bacterial spores survive and germinate, leading to vomiting and nausea after consumption

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, a dedicated microbiologist carefully holds a petri dish containing a culture of Bacillus cereus bacteria. With gloved hands and an unwavering focus, the scientist showcases the fascinating world of microbiology. Bacillus cereus is a Gram-positive, spore-forming bacterium commonly found in soil, water, and even on food. This particular strain produces an indigestible toxin that can cause severe foodborne illness. It poses a significant threat when rice is cooked and improperly refrigerated as its spores survive and germinate upon reheating. The image highlights the importance of understanding these hazardous microorganisms for public health and food safety. The meticulous research conducted in laboratories like this one plays a crucial role in preventing outbreaks of bacterial infections. With intricate detail captured by Science Photo Library's lens, we witness the dedication required to study such pathogenic bacteria. The photograph serves as a reminder of the critical work carried out by scientists who strive to protect us from harmful diseases. As we gaze at this powerful image, it becomes evident that our knowledge about these microscopic organisms continues to expand thanks to groundbreaking research in fields like bacteriology and microbiology. Through their efforts, scientists shed light on hidden dangers lurking within our environment while paving the way for advancements in medical treatments and public health practices.
