“…This is particularly problematic for the assessment of B. thuringiensis , which is frequently used as biopesticide worldwide [ 107 , 108 , 109 ]. B. thuringiensis has been isolated from a variety of foodstuffs and the presence of the enterotoxin genes nhe , hbl and cytK-2 has been shown, with similar percentages as for B. cereus [ 57 , 60 , 72 , 90 , 110 , 111 , 112 , 113 , 114 , 115 , 116 , 117 , 118 , 119 , 120 , 121 , 122 , 123 , 124 , 125 ], while ces genes have not been found [ 126 , 127 ]. Enterotoxin production and cytotoxic activity have also been shown [ 57 , 113 , 114 , 116 , 117 , 123 , 128 , 129 , 130 , 131 ], and B. thuringiensis could therefore be involved in food poisoning outbreaks [ 132 ].…”
