Bacillus cereus



Hello.
My name is B. cereus.
I'm a Gram Positive rod and I can form spores if I want.

I love rice!
Rice is one of my favourite places to live, especially if it's been reheated over and over.
You can get food poisoning from me that will give you diarrhoea and vomiting.
I use a special toxin to make you sick.

    This blog is super awesome :-) If I had a Top 10 list of greatest ideas for a blog, this would definately have to be on it. Wish it would've been around when I took microbiology in college a few years ago. Keep up the good work!

    Great blog, great idea and I love the artwork! This is a very informative and entertaining blog. You bring back good memories of Microbiology Class for me... and that was many, many years ago.

    I try to check in and view it every week or so--- keep it up.

    Thanks,
    PS

  6. My mum always said never to reheat rice..and I never knew why. Now I know, and it turns out she was right!
