Genetic and toxigenic diversity of group isolated from powdered foods.

is a human pathogenic bacterium that produces emetic and diarrheal foodborne diseases. This study evaluated the genetic and toxigenic diversity in group isolates from powdered foods collected in public educational institutions, bakeries and powdered food companies located in Medellín, Colombia. was detected in 35 of 305 (11%) powdered food samples and 52 were isolated.

Enterotoxin Gene Distribution and Genotypes of Isolated from Cassava Starch.

is a human pathogenic bacterium found in foods with the potential to cause emesis and diarrhea. This study estimated the presence, toxigenic and genomic diversity of obtained from cassava starch samples collected in bakeries and powdered food companies in Medellín (Colombia). was found in 43 of 75 (57%) cassava starch samples and 98 isolates were obtained.

Genomic and Toxigenic Heterogeneity of Isolated from Ready-to-Eat Foods and Powdered Milk in Day Care Centers in Colombia.

is a group of bacteria commonly found in diverse environments, including foods, with potential to cause emesis and diarrhea. In Colombia, it is one of the main foodborne pathogens. The aim of this study was to determine the genomic and toxigenic heterogeneity of isolated from ready-to-eat foods and powdered milk collected in day care centers of Medellin, Colombia.
