The behaviour of the sporulating soil-dwelling  Bacillus cereus sensu lato  ( B. cereus sl ) which includes foodborne pathogenic strains has been extensively studied in relation to its various animal hosts. The aim of this environmental study was to investigate the water compartments (rain and soil water, as well as groundwater) closely linked to the primary  B. cereus sl  reservoir, for which available data are limited.  B. cereus sl  was present, primarily as spores, in all of the tested compartments of an agricultural site, including water from rain to groundwater through soil. During rain events, leachates collected after transfer through the soil eventually reached the groundwater and were loaded with  B. cereus sl . In groundwater samples, newly introduced spores of a  B. cereus  model strain were able to germinate, and vegetative cells arising from this event were detected for up to 50 days. This first  B. cereus sl  investigation in the various types of interrelated environments suggests that the consideration of the aquatic compartment linked to soil and to climatic events should provide a better understanding of  B. cereus sl  ecology and thus be relevant for a more accurate risk assessment of food poisoning caused by  B. cereus sl  pathogenic strains.
