Caenorhabditis elegans Predation on Bacillus anthracis: Decontamination of Spore Contaminated Soil with Germinants and Nematodes

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Remediation of Bacillus anthracis-contaminated soil is challenging and approaches to reduce overall spore levels in environmentally contaminated soil or after intentional release of the infectious disease agent in a safe, low-cost manner are needed.

Establishment of surface functionalization methods for spore-based biosensors and implementation into sensor technologies for aseptic food processing [PDF]

, 2020
Aseptic processing has become a popular technology to increase the shelf-life of packaged products and to provide non-contaminated goods to the consumers. In 2017, the global aseptic market was evaluated to be about 39.5 billion USD.

The capsule of Bacillus anthracis, a review [PDF]

Journal of Applied Microbiology, 1999
The capsule of Bacillus anthracis, composed of poly-D-glutamic acid, serves as one of the principal virulence factors during anthrax infection. By virtue of its negative charge, the capsule is purported to inhibit host defence through inhibition of phagocytosis of the vegetative cells by macrophages.

Systematic Identification of Native Bacillus spp. as a Sustainable Approach to Mitigate Cadmium in Cocoa

Food Frontiers, EarlyView.
Native Bacillus spp. isolated from cocoa fermentations demonstrate cadmium resistance and removal capabilities. Through a multidisciplinary approach combining genomics, metagenomics, electron microscopy and functional assays, we identified promising strains for sustainable cadmium bioremediation, offering a natural strategy to improve cocoa safety and ...

Identification of Bacillus anthracis specific chromosomal sequences by suppressive subtractive hybridization

BMC Genomics, 2004
Background Bacillus anthracis, Bacillus thuringiensis and Bacillus cereus are closely related members of the B. cereus-group of bacilli. Suppressive subtractive hybridization (SSH) was used to identify specific chromosomal sequences unique to B ...

Central line–associated bloodstream infections and complications in adult home parenteral nutrition: Observations from a quality improvement initiative

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract The literature is inconsistent regarding differences in infection risk between central venous catheter types used for home parenteral nutrition (HPN). Our goal was to determine if significant differences exist in rates of infection and other complications between peripherally inserted central catheters, tunneled central venous catheters, and ...

CRISPR-Cas9-mediated barcode insertion into Bacillus thuringiensis for surrogate tracking

Microbiology Spectrum
The use of surrogate organisms can enable researchers to safely conduct research on pathogens and in a broader set of conditions. Being able to differentiate between the surrogates used in the experiments and background contamination as well as between ...

The global distribution of Bacillus anthracis and associated anthrax risk to humans, livestock and wildlife. [PDF]

, 2019
Bacillus anthracis is a spore-forming, Gram-positive bacterium responsible for anthrax, an acute infection that most significantly affects grazing livestock and wild ungulates, but also poses a threat to human health.

Analysis of acid-stressed Bacillus cereus reveals a major oxidative response and inactivation-associated radical formation [PDF]

, 2010
Acid stress resistance of the food-borne human pathogen Bacillus cereus may contribute to its survival in acidic environments, such as encountered in soil, food and the human gastrointestinal tract. The acid stress responses of B.
