The efficacy and safety of nine South African medicinal plants in controlling Bacillus anthracis Sterne vaccine strain

BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine, 2015
BackgroundAnthrax is a zoonotic disease caused by Bacillus anthracis, a Gram-positive spore-forming bacterium. The presence of the bacteria and the toxins in the blood of infected hosts trigger a cascade of pathological events leading to death.

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.

Two Putative Polysaccharide Deacetylases Are Required for Osmotic Stability and Cell Shape Maintenance in Bacillus anthracis

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2015
Background: BA0330 and BA0331 are the only two lipoproteins among 11 known or putative polysaccharide deacetylases from Bacillus anthracis. Results: Both proteins lack deacetylase activity and are important for cell shape maintenance (BA0331) or high ...

Biochemical Responses of Anopheles spp. Larvae to a Novel Brazilian BR101 Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis Formulation: Oxidative Stress, Detoxification Enzymes, and Safety for Nontarget Notonectidae and Gerridae Aquatic Insects

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 2, February 2026.
Bti BR101 exhibits strong larvicidal activity against Anopheles larvae spp., with dose‐dependent mortality and LC50 of 3.13 µg/mL. Bti increases ROS, lipid and protein oxidation, and activates antioxidant enzymes (SOD, CAT, GPx) and detoxification pathways (MFO and esterases), indicating moderate oxidative stress.

From cereus to anthrax and back again: Assessment of the temperature-dependent phenotypic switching in the “cross-over” strain Bacillus cereus G9241

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Bacillus cereus G9241 was isolated from a Louisiana welder suffering from an anthrax-like infection. The organism carries two transcriptional regulators that have previously been proposed to be incompatible with each other in Bacillus anthracis: the ...
