Bacteria
Bacillus cereus
Strain/Type
Bacillus cereus (Frankland and Frankland 1887):
DSM 31,
ATCC 14579,
CCM 2010,
LMG 6923,
NCBI 9373
NCTC 2599
Characteristics e.g. sensitizing or toxic effects, resistance to antibiotics
Hosts: Humans and animals.
Facultative human-pathogenic (it does not necessarily cause diseases in humans).
Only Bacillus cereus biovar anthracis is able to trigger disease.
Note T:
Toxin production: prokaryotes capable of forming exotoxins. The "T" tag lays no claim to completeness, however, i.e. exotoxin-forming strains may also arise in types of prokaryote without this tag. The "T" tag adopted over from Annex III of Directive 2000/54/EC.
Note TA:
Types of which strains are known which have been handled safely over many years in technical applications. These proven strains can therefore be assigned to risk group 1 according to the classification criteria. The "TA" tag lays no claim of completeness, however. Strains with the features of "TA" may therefore also arise in species not bearing this tag.
Approved as biological safety measure if taken as recipient organism for genetic engineering?
Genetically modified (GenTSV)
Risk group (BioStoffV)

Risk assessment
Risk accessment based on TRBA (Technical Rule for Biological Agents) 466 "Classification of prokaryotes (bacteria and archaea) into risk groups": https://www.baua.de/DE/Angebote/Rechtstexte-und-Technische-Regeln/Regelwerk/TRBA/TRBA-466.html
Operation instructions:
