If you suffer from chronic or intermittent constipation, the sooner you get a diagnosis the better. With colon cancer, for example, if it is diagnosed in the earliest stages, survival rates are well over 90%.
Bacillus cereus. Overview: Bacillus cereus is a Gram-positive, spore-forming, rod-shaped, facultative anaerobic bacterium belonging to the Bacillaceae family of the Firmicutes (Figure 1). Most strains of B. cereus are motile, while only 4% are found to be non-motile.ike other members of the genus Bacillus, B. cereus can produce protective endospores. An endospore is a dormant, tough, and non-reproductive structure produced by certain bacteria from the Firmicute phylum. They are typically located at cells' centre and contain hydrophobic appendages.
In addition, Bacillus cereus is an opportunistic human pathogen and is occasionally associated with infections, causing periodontal diseases and other more serious infections [5]. Immunocompromised patients are susceptible to bacteremia, endocarditis, meningitis, pneumonia, and endophthalmitis [6].enes present within the chromosome associated with B. cereus virulence include genes encoding for non-hemolytic enterotoxins, channel-forming type III hemolysins, phospholipase C, a perfringolysin O (listeriolysin O), and extracellular proteases [6].
