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 …

Bacillus anthracis, the etiological agent of anthrax, a zoonosis relatively common throughout
the world, can be used as an agent of bioterrorism. In naturally occurring outbreaks and in …

Genotyping of important medical or veterinary prokaryotes has become a very important tool

Introduction Anthrax is caused by the spore-forming, Gram-positive bacterium Bacillus
anthracis. The aim of this study was to predict the potential distribution of B. anthracis in …

We modeled the ecological niche of a globally successful Bacillus anthracis sublineage in
the United States, Italy and Kazakhstan to better understand the geographic distribution of …

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) are the most common and abundant genetic
variation found in the genome of any living species, from bacteria to humans. In bacterial …

Bacillus anthracis, the causative agent of anthrax disease, is a worldwide threat to livestock,

Poly-γ-glutamate (γ-PGA) is an industrially interesting polymer secreted mainly by members
of the class Bacilli which forms a shield able to protect bacteria from phagocytosis and …

Bacillus anthracis is an evolutionarily young species that presents an extremely low genetic
diversity due to its slow mode of propagation, determined by short replication phases and …

Background: Anthrax is an infectious fatal zoonotic disease caused by Bacillus anthracis.
