(14.4%), followed by Staphylococcus aureus (7.7%), Escherichia coli (6.5%), and Bacillus cereus (3.1%). With the aim to perform a regional detailed analysis of foodborne intoxication, we analyzed 253 outbreaks\u2019 profile reports to Food Surveillance team of the General Secretariat of Health Surveillance of Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul State, between 2003 and 2013. In contrast to what was most notified in Brazil, in Porto Alegre the main outbreak agent identified was Bacillus cereus (32.2%) and, based on the patient symptoms, most cases were linked to enterotoxin production. The majority of the outbreaks were linked to the ingestion of food containing cereals or sauces poorly kept at environment temperature during the stock or preparation. We believe that, due to the compulsory use of pasteurized eggs in our city, Salmonella sp. outbreaks are less important here.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/0102-311x00057417","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,28]],"date-time":"2018-03-28T15:45:02Z","timestamp":1522251902000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Bacillus cereus as the main casual agent of foodborne outbreaks in Southern Brazil: data from 11 years"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"34","author":[{"given":"Silvia Adriana Mayer","family":"Lentz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul,  Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Paula Marques","family":"Rivas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Coordenadoria Geral de Vigil\u00e2ncia em Sa\u00fade de Porto Alegre,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marisa Ribeiro de Itapema","family":"Cardoso","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul,  Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Daiana de Lima","family":"Morales","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hospital das Cl\u00ednicas de Porto Alegre,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fabiana Cassel","family":"Centenaro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Coordenadoria Geral de Vigil\u00e2ncia em Sa\u00fade de Porto Alegre,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andreza Francisco","family":"Martins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul,  Brazil;
