Bacillus cereus

Table V.1: Bacillus cereus
TYPE OF PATHOGEN & SYMPTOMS OF INFECTION

B. cereus bacteria quickly multiply in food left out of the refrigerator too long (e.g., rice, soups, leftovers). It produces two types of toxins that can cause: (v.43)

  • Diarrhea and cramping in as little as 6 hours after eating.
  • Nausea and vomiting within 30 minutes and up to 6 hours after consuming contaminated food.
TYPE OF STUDY EFFECT OF TURMERIC OILS AND EXTRACTS

TURMERIC LEAF EXTRACT

Lab

  • At concentrations of 75% and 100%, extracts from the leaf of turmeric blocked B. cereus bacteria. Both concentrations showed good antibacterial activity, but the higher concentration was more effective. (v.69)
  • Boosted the immune system response. (v.69)

TURMERIC RHIZOME EXTRACTS

Lab

  • Various types of turmeric extracts showed significant antibacterial activity against B. cereus(v.70)
  • Turmeric rhizome extract made with methanol had antibacterial effects that were comparable to the conventional treatment drugs ofloxacin and fluconazole. (v.70)

TURMERIC OIL

Lab

  • Lab tests show turmeric oil is active against B. cereus. Some of the main compounds in turmeric oil from the rhizome are turmerones and curlone. (v.71)
EFFECTIVE TURMERIC COMPOUNDS

Research (mostly lab studies) indicates that other individual compounds in turmeric also have antibacterial effects against B. cereus. These include:

However, some studies suggest that limonene and ρ-cymene have little activity against B. cereus when used by themselves. (v.79)

Using different solvents. (v.70)
