The amino acid sequences of the hblC gene of Bacillus cereus s.l. strains were clustered in this study. Most of strains reacted Hbl-positive with the Duopath test but two strains (B26 and MS17) were Hbl-negative. The phylogenetic analysis was carried out using the Jukes-Cantor model for genetic distance and the unweighted pair-group method using arithmetic averages (UPGMA) algorithm of the Geneious® program. The branch length and branch support values indicate the units of substitutions per site of the sequence alignment
