Abstract: The aim of the study was to investigate the enterotoxigenicity of Bacillus cereus isolated from raw minced beef samples, fifty beef samples were collected from butcher shops in Omdurman city, Sudan. Ten Bacillus cereus were isolated and identified by standard bacteriological methods. Culture filtrates of the isolates were used to test for enterotoxigicity using the rabbit ileal loop assay. Eight of the Bacillus cereus isolates were found to be enterotoxigenic and hence raw beef meat could be a source of food poisoning to humans consuming raw or ill-cooked meat.
