蜡样芽孢杆菌广泛分布于环境当中。传统的致病性蜡样芽孢杆菌由于携带毒力基因，具有编码肠毒素和腹泻毒素的能力，被人类误食后会引起食物中毒甚至导致严重的疾病，因而引起人们的广泛关注。近年来，非致病性蜡样芽孢杆菌所具有的功效逐渐被人们所发现，并且应用于动物饲料的添加剂中；然而关于非致病性蜡样芽孢杆菌的益生功能却鲜有报道，该研究综述了非致病性蜡样芽孢杆菌的益生功能及其在食品领域的应用，主要包括抑菌功能、抗炎作用以及促生长作用等，并且对未来的研究发展方向做出了展望。

Bacillus cereus is widely distributed in the environment, and its ability to encode enterotoxins and diarrhea toxins generally leads to food poisoning and serious disease following accidental ingestion by humans, generating widespread concern. In recent years, the efficacy of applying non-pathogenic B. cereus to animal feed additives has been investigated; however, few reports have examined the probiotic function of the bacteria. This paper describes the probiotic functions of B. cereus, mainly its antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and growth-promoting effects, and its potential application in animal feed, and discusses the prospects for future research and possible development directions.
