METHOD OF DETECTING CEREUS STRAIN PRODUCING EMETIC TOXIN AND PRIMER SET FOR THE METHOD

It is intended to provide a method whereby a cereus strain producing an emetic toxin which has an emetic toxin synthase gene but is negative in an animal cell vacuolation test (i.e., being so-called false positive) can be discriminated and thus a cereus strain being positive in the animal cell vacuo...

Zusammenfassung:It is intended to provide a method whereby a cereus strain producing an emetic toxin which has an emetic toxin synthase gene but is negative in an animal cell vacuolation test (i.e., being so-called false positive) can be discriminated and thus a cereus strain being positive in the animal cell vacuolation test alone can be surely detected. More specifically, an emetic toxin-producing cereus strain can be distinguished from an emetic toxin non-producing cereus strain based on the production curves of nucleic acids which are amplified and produced by conducting RT-PCR with the use of nucleic acids respectively having the base sequence represented by SEQ ID NO:1 and the base sequence represented by SEQ ID NO:2 as primers.
