説明

Bacillus pumilus has rarely been reported as a cause of human infections.We report a case of a B. pumilus causing food poisoning in an adult male.A 51-year-old Japanese man complained of severe abdominal cramps, fever with chills, diarrhea, dizziness, and loss of appetite after eating reheated rice with stewed minced meat purchased from a Kenyan restaurant. Bacillus pumilus was isolated from blood culture and was identified using a biochemical test and 16S rRNA gene sequencing analysis. The patient was treated with probiotics and ciprofloxacin and recovered after 3 days. To our knowledge, this is the first report describing the potential role of B.pumilus as a foodborne pathogen in Kenya and highlights the importance of good hygiene and food preparation practices.
