Bacillus Cereus Infection Clinical Trial
Official title:
Contamination of Bacillus Species Sepsis.
Bacillus species are ubiquitous gram-positive spore-forming organisms. They rarely cause
disease in the immunocompetent and are more frequently isolated as a culture contaminant.
However, Bacillus Species can cause severe systemic infections in immunocompromised patients
including preterm infants.
The purpose of this study is to identify the risk factors of these infections.
Non-anthrax Bacillus Species bacteria can be responsible for food poisoning and local
infections. Rarely, they lead to severe infections like blood stream infections and
meningitis especially in immunocompromised patients like preterm infants.
Bacillus Cereus is the most common members of the genus Bacillus. Only few reports studied
these systemic infections in premature neonates. In order to identify the risk factors for
severe Bacillus Species infections, we studied retrospectively eleven cases of these
infections in our NICU and reviewed series and report cases in literature.
