Abstract: In order to identify a pathogenic bacterium isolated from the incidence and death racing of an equestrian club in Tongliao city,Inner Mongolia,the isolated strains were subjected to Gram stain microscopy,animal pathogenicity tests,automatic microbiological analysis system detection,16S rRNA gene amplification,phylogenetic tree analysis and partial virulence gene PCR detection. The results showed that the biochemical characteristics of isolates were consistent with the characteristics of Bacillus cereus(B. cereus); it was sensitive to clindamycin, gentamicin and other drugs, moderately sensitive to cefoxitin, ciprofloxacin and other drugs,and resistant to aztreonam,cefazolin and other drugs; 16S rRNA gene sequence was 100% homologous to the registered B. cereus sequence in GenBank; phylogenetic tree analysis showed that the isolated strains were closest to the relatives of B. cereus;the detection results of virulence gene PCR showed that 8 potential virulence genes entFM,cytK,hblA,hblC,hblD,nheA,nheB and nheC were all positive.The results showed that the isolated strain was a serious pathogenic B. cereus.

Key words: Bacillus cereus, isolation and identification, 16S rRNA, virulence genes
