Antimicrobial Susceptibility of Bacillus Anthracis
Scandinavian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 199122 Bacillus anthracis isolates were tested for susceptibility to 27 antimicrobial agents by agar dilution. All isolates were sensitive to penicillins and did not produce beta-lactamase. Although all isolates were sensitive to cefazolin, cephalothin, cephradine and cefoperazone 19 isolates were resistant to cefuroxime, 18 to cefotaxime, 18 to ...

Molecular Aspects of Medicine, 2009
In response to starvation, Bacillus anthracis can form a specialized cell type called the spore, which is the infectious particle for the disease anthrax. The spore is largely metabolically inactive and can resist a wide range of stresses found in nature.

The surface of Bacillus anthracis
Molecular Aspects of Medicine, 2009Bacillus anthracis is a Gram positive organism possessing a complex parietal structure. An S-layer, a bi-dimensional crystalline layer, and a peptidic capsule surround the thick peptidoglycan of bacilli harvested during infection. A review of the current literature indicates that elements from each of these three structures, as well as membrane ...

Bacillus anthracis on Gruinard Island
Nature, 1981During the Second World War, trials of Bacillus anthracis as a potential agent of biological warfare (BW) were carried out on Gruinard Island off the west coast of Scotland (57°56′N, 5°35′W). Small bombs containing a slurry of spores of B. anthracis were detonated: most were suspended, about 6 feet above ground, from a gantry but one was dropped from ...

A Selective Medium for Bacillus anthracis
Journal of General Microbiology, 1951SUMMARY: A nutrient medium containing lysozyme and hacmatin is described which permits free growth of B. anthracis while suppressing more than 95% of other Basillus spp. in soil.

Understanding Bacillus anthracis pathogenesis
Trends in Microbiology, 1999. Inthis guinea pig inhalation model,spore-containing macrophages de-tach from the lung and are carriedtoward the regional lymph nodesin the media stinum. It is duringthis period that germination oc-curs. There is no overt pulmonaryinfection during inhalation an-thrax and the lungs remain clear ofvegetative ...

Glycosidase activities of Bacillus anthracis
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1984Bacillus anthracis could be distinguished from the taxonomically related species B. cereus, B. mycoides, and B. thuringiensis by a comparison of glycosidase activities. All the bacilli tested possessed alpha-glucosidase activity, as evidenced by the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl-alpha-D-glucoside. In B.

Bacillus anthracis Evolution and Epidemiology
2002Bacillus anthracis is a pathogen that is widely distributed around the globe. However, this great distribution is not accompanied by great genetic diversity. Although subtle morphological and biochemical differences exist, the underlying genetic basis for this plasticity is not known.

Bacillus cereus and Bacillus anthracis
2018Bacillus species are spore-forming aerobic rods; are natural inhabitants of soil, dust, water, and environment; and can contaminate milk, meat, rice, and pasta. Endospores are resistant to harsh environmental conditions or processing treatments. The majority of bacilli are nonpathogenic; however, several species produce multiple toxins and can cause ...
