Question 1

left packet of rice open for 3 hours. heard about raw rice containing  bacillus cereus and multiplying when cooked. food poisoning risk?

Accepted Answer

Possible: Fried rice is an important cause of emetic-type food poisoning associated with B. cereus in the United States. The organism is frequently present in uncooked rice, and heat-resistant spores may survive cooking. Cooked rice subsequently at room temperature can allow vegetative forms to multiply, and the heat-stable toxin that is produced can survive brief heating such as stir frying.

Question 2

what infectious disease could a patient have if bacillus cereus are present?

Accepted Answer

Food poisoning: Bacillus cereus causes food poisoning.  It often presents with the "fried rice syndrome": a bout of vomiting after eating improperly cooked, refrigerated, or reheated rice.  It can also cause diarrhea.  It gets better on  its own.

Question 3

the routes of bacillus cereus?

Accepted Answer

Bacillus cereus: Bacillus cereus or b. Cereus is a type of bacteria that produces toxins. These toxins can cause two types of illness: one type characterized by diarrhea and the other, called emetic toxin, by nausea and vomiting. It comes from contaminated food that is undercooked and generally lasts a day.

Question 4

can bacillus cereus make you very sick in small quantities? like if it is some old starch etc. on some cutlery/table? or does it have to be in bigger quantities? impossible to know if there is some stains somewhere?

Accepted Answer

: B Cereus is a ubiquitous bacteria found in most raw foods, soil and some marine sponges. It cannot make you sick in very smalol quantities. food poisoning from B cereus is typically caused by ingesting cooked or raw food that has sat at room temperature for a prolonged period of time. Symptoms include diarrhea and nausea. Stains on a table or cutlery would be an unlikely source.

Question 5

which antibiotic is most effective against bacillus subtilus?

Accepted Answer

Why do you ask?: This is a common bug that grows on the skin and almost never causes problems. If it's food poisoning, antibiotics won't help. Best wishes.

Question 6

how does tuberculosis treatment act on bacilli?

Accepted Answer

Kills them: Most of the antibiotics used to treat TB work by blocking the internal molecular machinery of the bacteria thereby leading to bacterial death.

Question 7

please what is the treatment for gram positive cocci and gram negative bacilli?

Accepted Answer

: Much more info needed in order to make a proper reply. This information alone might be entirely normal and not need treatment.

Question 8

does masturbation affect the efficency of ofloxin an antibiotic who treats staphylococcus and bacillus of acne infections ?

Accepted Answer

No it doesn't: Masturbation has no impact  on the effectiveness of antibiotics.  You needn't worry about it.

Question 9

i m taking doxycycline and lactic acid bacillus capsules for the last 4 days , i m feeling weak, is it due to this antibiotic?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: Neither doxycycline nor the lactobacillus capsules will cause weakness. Maybe it's due to whatever infection you are being treated for. Check with the doctor or clinic treating you.

Question 10

constipated after finishing antibiotics. will azo cranberry (with bacillus coagulans) help, or do i need a different type of probiotic for intestines?

Accepted Answer

Try fiber: You may take fiber rich foods like prunes. or use fiber laxative like Metamucil. You may take probiotics but those are not likely to help constipation.
