Research progress in detection of Bacillus cereus based on PCR method

Bacillus cereus is one of the major foodborne pathogens causing food poisoning. Rapid and accurate detection of the B. cereus is the key to prevent contamination in food. Causes of poisoning by B. cereus was introduced and the characteristic and progress of target genes which used to detect B. cereus with various PCR technologies was revierved in this paper.
