c-di-AMP accumulation impairs toxin expression of Bacillus anthracis by down-regulating potassium importers [PDF]

Microbiology Spectrum
The Gram-positive bacterium Bacillus anthracis is the causative agent of anthrax and a bioterrorism threat worldwide. As a crucial second messenger in many bacterial species, cyclic di-AMP (c-di-AMP) modulates various key processes for bacterial ...

Decontamination Efficacy and Skin Toxicity of Two Decontaminants against Bacillus anthracis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Decontamination of bacterial endospores such as Bacillus anthracis has traditionally required the use of harsh or caustic chemicals. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a chlorine dioxide decontaminant in killing Bacillus anthracis ...

Loss of Bacitracin Resistance Due to a Large Genomic Deletion among Bacillus anthracis Strains

mSystems, 2018
Bacillus anthracis is a Gram-positive endospore-forming bacterial species that causes anthrax in both humans and animals. In Zambia, anthrax cases are frequently reported in both livestock and wildlife, with occasional transmission to humans, causing ...

The Bacillus cereus GerN and GerT protein homologs have distinct roles in spore germination and outgrowth, respectively [PDF]

, 2008
The GerT protein of Bacillus cereus shares 74% amino acid identity with its homolog GerN. The latter is a Na+/H+-K+ 19 antiporter that is required for normal spore germination in inosine.
