“…So far, the B. cereus group comprises nearly 20 closely related species Miller et al, 2016). Members of the B. cereus group are ubiquitously distributed in diverse environments and can cause a wide range of diseases in humans and animals (Didelot et al, 2009, Veysseyre et al, 2015, Mukhopadhyay et al 2016, Sharma et al, 2016, Morin et al, 2003. In aquaculture, some B. cereus strains have also been identified as pathogenic bacteria (Chandra et al, 2015;Cho et al, 2010;Wang et al, 2018).…”

The oriental river prawn, Macrobrachium nipponense, is an economically and nutritionally important freshwater crustacean in China. However, in recent years, some diseases have emerged in M. nipponense. In the present study, a pathogenic bacterium from M. nipponense with a red hepatopancreas was isolated. Then, through phenotypic analysis, biochemical analysis and genotypic identification, the MN strain was identified as a member of the Bacillus cereus group. The pathogenic mechanism analysis showed that the MN strain had virulence genes, including nheA, cytK and bceT gene, and could secrete urease and haemolysin. Furthermore, the drug sensitivity test suggested Cefazolin, amikacin, gentamicin and chloramphenicol could significantly inhibit the growth of the MN strain. All these results provide a theoretical basis for clinical medication to prevent or treat disease caused by MN strain in M. nipponense.
