Sugar-based bactericides targeting phosphatidylethanolamine-enriched membranes
Nature Communications, 2018 Bacillus anthracis causes the infectious disease anthrax. Here, the authors synthesized deoxy glycosides that are effective against B. anthracis and related bacteria and found that these amphiphilic compounds kill bacteria via an unusual mechanism of ...

Spaced seeds improve k-mer-based metagenomic classification [PDF]
, 2015 Metagenomics is a powerful approach to study genetic content of environmental samples that has been strongly promoted by NGS technologies. To cope with massive data involved in modern metagenomic projects, recent tools [4, 39] rely on the analysis of k ...

Blowflies as vectors of Bacillus anthracis in the Kruger National Park
Koedoe: African Protected Area Conservation and Science, 2018 Anthrax, caused by Bacillus anthracis, is endemic in the Kruger National Park (KNP). The epidemiology of B. anthracis is dependent on various factors including vectors.

Human Neutrophils Kill Bacillus anthracis
PLoS Pathogens, 2005 Bacillus anthracis spores cause natural infections and are used as biological weapons. Inhalation infection with B. anthracis, the etiological agent of anthrax, is almost always lethal, yet cutaneous infections usually remain localized and resolve spontaneously.

Sequencing of 16S rRNA Gene: A Rapid Tool for Identification of Bacillus anthracis
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2002 In a bioterrorism event, a tool is needed to rapidly differentiate Bacillus anthracis from other closely related spore-forming Bacillus species. During the recent outbreak of bioterrorism-associated anthrax, we sequenced the 16S rRNA generom these ...

Rapid Sequence Identification of Potential Pathogens Using Techniques from Sparse Linear Algebra
, 2015 The decreasing costs and increasing speed and accuracy of DNA sample collection, preparation, and sequencing has rapidly produced an enormous volume of genetic data. However, fast and accurate analysis of the samples remains a bottleneck. Here we present
