thuringiensis and B. cereus (sensu stricto), has previously been scrutinized regarding …

Ensuring consistently high quality and safety is paramount to food producers and consumers
alike. Wet chemistry and microbiological methods provide accurate results, but those …

Research fronts, defined as clusters of documents that tend to cite a fixed, time invariant set
of base documents, are plotted as time lines for visualization and exploration. Using a set of …

Anthrax is a severe bacterial infection that occurs when Bacillus anthracis spores gain
access into the body and germinate in macrophages, causing septicemia and toxemia …

Toxins produced by Bacillus anthracis and other microbial pathogens require functions of
host cell genes to yield toxic effects. Here we show that low density lipoprotein receptor …

The development of new approaches to combat anthrax requires that the pathogenesis and
host response to Bacillus anthracis spores be better understood. We investigated the roles …

Bioweapons are most often designed for delivery to the lung, although this route is not the
usual portal of entry for many of the pathogens in the natural environment. Vaccines and …

Background Bacillus cereus sensu lato sl) is a group of bacteria displaying close
phylogenetic relationships but a high ecological diversity. The three most studied species …

There is a current biodefense interest in protection against anthrax. Here, we developed a
new generation of stable and effective anthrax vaccine. We studied the immune response …

B. anthracis, the causative agent for anthrax, has been well studied for over 150 years. Due
to the genetic similarities among various Bacillus species, as well as its existence in both a …
