You Can't B. cereus - A Review of Bacillus cereus Strains That Cause Anthrax-Like Disease.

abstract：:Since the 2006 European ban on the use of antibiotics as growth promoters in animal feed, numerous studies have been published describing alternative strategies to prevent diseases in animals. A particular focus has been on prevention of necrotic enteritis in poultry caused by Clostridium perfringens by the use of mic...
