a.Vibrio parahaemolyticus
b.Campylobacter jejuni

Giải thích
Bacillus cereus forms spores that survive cooking and can produce toxins when cooked rice or starchy foods are held in the danger zone. Rapid cooling and proper hot holding prevent the spores from germinating and producing toxin. Vibrio is linked to shellfish, Campylobacter to poultry, and Listeria to deli and refrigerated foods.
