Abstract
Bacillus cereus sensu lato s.l.) is a group of bacteria displaying close phylogenetic relationships but a high ecological diversity. The three most studied species are Bacillus anthracis, Bacillus cereus sensu stricto and Bacillus thuringiensis. While some species are pathogenic to mammals or associated with food poisoning, Bacillus thuringiensis is a well-known entomopathogenic bacterium used as biopesticide worldwide. B. cereus s.l. also contains a large variety of mobile genetic elements (MGEs).
