Meningitis Due to Bacillus Anthracis

Yonsei Medical Journal, 2005
The first case of haemorrhagic meningitis due to Bacillus anthracis in the European part of Turkey is reported here. B. anthracis, sensitive to penicillin, was isolated from the cerebrospinal fluid and blood cultures. Although appropriate therapy was administered, the patient died two days after hospitalization.

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.

Macromolecules and Bioactive Compounds From Adenanthera pavonina L.: Potential Applications in Food Packaging

Starch - Stärke, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This review explores Adenanthera pavonina L. (AP), a species native to Southeast Asia, through a systematic literature review using the Scopus database, which yielded 205 documents. An additional complementary search identified nine more studies specifically focused on its application in food packaging.

A new approach to in silico SNP detection and some new SNPs in the Bacillus anthracis genome

BMC Research Notes, 2011
Background Bacillus anthracis is one of the most monomorphic pathogens known. Identification of polymorphisms in its genome is essential for taxonomic classification, for determination of recent evolutionary changes, and for evaluation of pathogenic ...

White‐tailed deer habitat use and implications for chronic wasting disease transmission Uso del hábitat del ciervo de cola blanca e implicaciones para la transmisión de la caquexia crónica

Wildlife Monographs, EarlyView.
White‐tailed deer habitat use, activity, and attraction to conspecifics is highly variable between sexes and seasons. In this study, we leverage an unprecedented dataset from Wisconsin to illustrate how deer respond to changing physiological and social needs through the course of year.

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.

Bovine Bacillus anthracis in Cameroon [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2011
ABSTRACT Bovine Bacillus anthracis isolates from Cameroon were genetically characterized. They showed a strong homogeneity, and they belong, together with strains from Chad, to cluster Aβ, which appears to be predominant in western Africa.

Mechanisms governing bacterial capsular polysaccharide attachment and chain length

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Capsular polysaccharides (CPSs) are high‐molecular weight glycopolymers that form a capsule layer on the surface of many bacterial species. This layer serves as a crucial barrier between bacteria and their environment, protecting them from host immune responses and environmental stressors while facilitating adaptation to host niches.
