Capsule production in Bacillus cereus strains associated with severe pneumonia.

David Sue¹, Alex R Hoffmaster, Tanja Popovic, Patricia P Wilkins.

Abstract

We identified three encapsulated Bacillus cereus strains, isolated from patients with severe pneumonia, in a collection of B. cereus isolates associated with human illness. We found that the extent of capsule expression was influenced by culturing conditions. Our findings highlight consequent clinical and laboratory diagnostic challenges posed by such isolates.
