Is Viral Hepatitis caused by Bacillus cereus?

Viral Hepatitis is not caused by Bacillus cereus, which is a type of bacteria. Instead, Viral Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver typically caused by one of several viruses, including Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C. These viruses are transmitted through various means, such as contaminated food and water (especially Hepatitis A) or through blood and bodily fluids (Hepatitis B and C). Bacillus cereus, on the other hand, is primarily associated with foodborne illness, particularly as a cause of food poisoning from improperly stored or cooked food. Understanding the distinction between viral infections, which like Hepatitis are caused by viruses, and bacterial infections is crucial for effectively preventing and managing these diseases.
