Eight new pairs of PCR primers were designed and efficiently detect eight toxin genes (hblC, hblD, hblA, nheA, nheB, nheC, cytK, and entFM) in 411 B. cereus strains (121 food- and 290 soil isolates) and 205 B. thuringiensis strains (43 serovars, 10 food- and 152 soil isolates). According to the pres...
