The problem is that B. cereus spores are often present in uncooked rice. But because the spores are heat-resistant, they are not always killed when the rice is cooked, particularly if it is steamed or cooked too quickly.[giantmicrobes.com]
However, they are only present in small numbers and thus difficult to find. 6. Campylobacter jejuni Campylobacter is commonly implicated in outbreaks involving predominantly children.[virology-online.com]

Bacillus cereus numbers can double in less than 20 minutes when it is present in foods that are held at unsafe temperatures. Mighty Taco removed all refried beans, the suspect food, from its restaurants on October 6, 2016.[foodpoisoningbulletin.com]
A small volume of diarrhea may be present with the short-incubation version as well. Complications from Bacillus cereus food poisoning are rare. Most cases of Bacillus cereus food poisoning resolve themselves without medical treatment.[schmidtandclark.com]
These toxins kill cells by making holes in the cell walls, so causing leakages and swelling which in turn leads to the disintegration of the cells.[sciencedaily.com]
Because B. cereus may be life-threatening if it has acquired the pOx1 plasmid, its presence in a culture collected from a patient with bacteremia, sepsis, and/or pneumonia should merit further investigation.[upmc-cbn.org]
