Bacillus cereus is a bacterium responsible for foodborne illnesses and since 2011 has been the second biggest cause of collective food poisoning outbreaks in France. Yet the public health impact of B. cereus was previously largely underestimated. In addition, because B. cereus is a pathogenic bacterium mainly transmitted by food, it represents an important issue for the agri-food sector.
