The Bacillus cereus group includes several Bacillus species with closely related phylogeny.
The most well-studied members of the group, B. anthracis, B. cereus, and B. thuringiensis …

Emerging strains of Bacillus cereus, traditionally considered a self-limiting foodborne
pathogen, have been associated with anthrax-like disease in mammals, including humans …

Anthrax has been feared for its high mortality in animals and humans for centuries. The
etiologic agent is considered a potentially devastating bioweapon, and since 1876―when …

Bacillus anthracis, the etiological agent of anthrax, procures its particular virulence by a
capsule and two AB type toxins: the lethal factor LF and the edema factor EF. These toxins …

Facile laboratory tools are needed to augment identification in contamination events to trace
the contamination back to the source (traceback) of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica …

The Bacillus cereus group, also known as B. cereus sensu lato, is a subdivision of the
Bacillus genus that consists of eight formally recognised species: B. cereus sensu stricto, B …

Through full genome analyses of four atypical Bacillus cereus isolates, designated B. cereus
biovar anthracis, we describe a distinct clade within the B. cereus group that presents with …

Emerging B. cereus strains that cause anthrax-like disease have been isolated in Cameroon
(CA strain) and Côte d'Ivoire (CI strain). These strains are unusual, because their genomic …

Certain genetic variants of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)
are of substantial concern because they may be more transmissible or detrimentally alter the …

Bacillus anthracis has traditionally been considered the etiologic agent of anthrax. However,
anthrax-like illness has been documented in welders and other metal workers infected with …
