Microgen® Bacillus-ID

An identification system for mesophilic Bacillus species and related genera
associated with food poisoning and food spoilage.
• Simple and easy-to-use 24 reaction system
• Results in 48 hours
• Results interpreted using Microgen® ID system software
Microgen® Bacillus-ID has been developed for the identification of mesophilic Bacillus spp. and related genera isolated from food, food ingredients and beverages either as food spoilage or food poisoning
organisms.

B. cereus and, to a lesser extent, B. licheniformis are
well known as causative agents of food poisoning. Numerous other species, and related genera including B. pumilus, B. thuringiensis, B. brevis, B. mycoides, Paenibacillus alvei, B. circulans and B. sphaericus, have also been reported as causing food poisoning.

The identification of these species has been difficult due to a combination of factors including:
• Confusion over the taxonomy of Bacillus spp.
• Variable performance in conventional biochemical test media
• Extensive range of conventional biochemical media required
• Reliance on microscopic endospore morphology
Microgen® Bacillus-ID overcomes all of these problems with a simple, user friendly identification system presented in a convenient microwell format.
