Abstract: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.
