Species code:	BACCR
Taxonomy:	Bacteria; Firmicutes; Bacillales; Bacillaceae; Bacillus; Bacillus cereus group (TaxID: 226900) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description:	Bacillus cereus is a Gram-positive, facultatively aerobic sporeformer. It is responsible for food poisoning outbreaks. There are two recognized types of illness caused by two distinct metabolites. The diarrheal type of illness is caused by a large molecular weight protein, while the vomiting (emetic) type of illness is believed to be caused by a low molecular weight, heat-stable peptide.
Properties:	Presence of flagella: Yes Interaction: Animal pathogen in Mammalia Number of membranes: 1 Number of inteins:0
Statistics:	Number of BACCR entries in the UniProt Knowledgebase: 5240 (625 in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot + 4615 in UniProtKB/TrEMBL)
