Development and validation of a real-time quantitative PCR assay for rapid identification of Bacillus anthracis in environmental samples [PDF]

, 2010
A real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay was developed for rapid identification of Bacillus anthracis in environmental samples. These samples often harbor Bacillus cereus bacteria closely related to B.

Decoding Biothreats With FT‐ICR‐MS: Metabotyping of Bacillus cereus Spores Through Untargeted Metabolomics

Journal of Mass Spectrometry, Volume 61, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Genome sequencing is the gold standard for microbial identification. However, it fails to distinguish closely related species with overlapping genetic features. This is the case of Bacillus cereus and Bacillus cytotoxicus, two members of the B. cereus group with distinct pathogenic profiles. While B. cereus, a well‐known opportunistic pathogen

Molecular diversity in Bacillus anthracis [PDF]

Journal of Applied Microbiology, 1999
Molecular typing of Bacillus anthracis has been extremely difficult due to the lack of polymorphic DNA markers. We have identified nine novel variable number tandemly repeated loci from previously known amplified fragment length polymorphism markers or from the DNA sequence.

Shaping Function: Polymeric 3D Systems With Unconventional Geometries for Biomedical Applications

Small, Volume 22, Issue 33, 12 June 2026.
Particle shape is a key design parameter governing biological interactions. Advances in fabrication enable precise control over anisotropy and compartmentalization, allowing modulation of cellular uptake, transport, and biodistribution, ultimately enhancing therapeutic performance. ABSTRACT Polymer geometry is a primary determinant of physical behavior

Identifying Novel Mutants with Increased Susceptibility to Hydrogen Peroxide and Reduced Virulence in Bacillus anthracis Sterne

, 2023
Bacillus anthracis is a gram-positive bacterial pathogen that causes the deadly infectious disease anthrax. B. anthracis contains over 5,000 chromosomal genes, and we believe there are unidentified chromosomal genes important for virulence.

Espressione, purificazione e caratterizzazioner del fattore letale di Bacillus anthracis fuso con Green Fluorescent Protein [PDF]

, 2022
Bacillus anthracis, è in grado di produrre diversi fattori di virulenza, fondamentali per la patogenesi e l'instaurarsi dell'infezione, i principali sono rappresentati da due tossine: il fattore edematoso (EF) ed il fattore letale (LF), insieme all ...

Hospital‐Based Cross‐Sectional Study of Burkholderia pseudomallei Seroreactivity Among Febrile Patients in Northernmost Vietnam: Near‐Neighbor Bloodstream Isolates, Environmental Correlates, and Spatial Clustering

GeoHealth, Volume 10, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Melioidosis is a potentially fatal tropical disease caused by the environmentally mediated bacterium, Burkholderia pseudomallei. In Vietnam, melioidosis is not nationally reportable and little is known regarding its epidemiology and distribution in the northernmost mountainous provinces.

A novel fusion tool to enable G protein‐coupled receptor structure determination

Acta Crystallographica Section D, Volume 82, Issue 6, Page 655-663, June 2026.
The development of a new fusion tool in which a β‐lactamase fusion tag and a binding partner enabled the structure determination of an antagonist‐bound G protein‐coupled receptor by cryo‐EM is reported.Structure determination of G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) plays an important role in accelerating drug development against this medically important

Discovering Novel Genes Important For Survival Against Reactive Oxygen Species in Bacillus Anthracis

, 2020
Bacillus anthracis is a gram-positive, spore-forming bacterium and the causative agent of the deadly disease anthrax. The B. anthracis genome consists of chromosomal genes and the pX01 and pX02 plasmids that strongly contribute to the bacteria's deadly ...
