摘要：我们在一个B菌群中鉴定了三种从重症肺炎患者中分离的包囊蜡样芽孢杆菌菌株。与人类疾病有关的蜡样芽胞杆菌分离物。我们发现，胶囊表达的程度受到培养条件的影响。我们的研究结果强调了这些分离株所带来的临床和实验室诊断挑战。
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.
