Abstrakt: Regarding the economic importance of bivalve farming, a great deal of interest has recently been devoted to studying the pathogenesis of infectious diseases of these mollusks to prepare for public health emergencies. Bacillus cereus is one of these pathogens; it is a ubiquitous soil bacterium responsible for many types of gastrointestinal diseases associated with food. This study was conducted to determine the pathogenic effect of B. cereus on Crassostrea gigas . This effect was studied by assessing hemocytes death using flow cytometry analysis. The results showed that only ∼15% of C. gigas were able to survive after B. cereus artificial infection with 10 8 CFU (colony-forming unit)/oyster. Evenly, the percentage of nonviable hemocytes gradually increased with the concentration of B. cereus , with a peak value of ∼40% after infection. Indeed, findings showed that this strain is harmful to C. gigas .
