Bacillus Cereus Infection of Patients Diagnosed at Nîmes University Hospital

Bacillus Cereus : a Retrospective Study of Patients Diagnosed at Nîmes University Hospital With a Positive Culture for B. Cereus From January 1, 2008 and Literature Review

OBJECTIVES:

We aimed to study the characteristics of patients presenting with a Bacillus cereus infection in a university hospital.

METHODS:

We performed a retrospective analysis of the clinical, biological, and treatment-related data of patients hospitalized in our university hospital between January 1st, 2008 and December 31st, 2012 and diagnosed with a B. cereus infection. We identified a subgroup of patients presenting with bacteremia and looked for risk factors for death within that group of patients.
