Summary

The results, in addition to the outcome of the carbohydrate utilization profiles, also indicate that B. cereus can be introduced into the milk via sources others than raw milk. Only a few strains (6%) isolated at dairy 1 were able to grow at 7 deg C. The findings in the study suggest that adaptation or more likely selection of strains to growth at low temperatures occurs during storage and distribution.
