Bacillus cereus is a spore-forming, aerobic to faculta- tive, Gram-positive, motile rod that can be isolated from a wide variety of different sites [1–5]. It has been regarded as rather apathogenic or as an opportunistic pathogen. How- ever, B. cereus has also been isolated from various infec- tions in man [6–17]. This article gives a compact review of the ultrastructure, epidemiology, and pathogenesis of B. cereus-caused diseases in man. At the end of the article, the attention is focused on some new findings on the relationship between the surface ultrastructure of B. cereus, adherence, and phagocytosis.
