THE GENOME OF A BACILLUS ISOLATE CAUSING ANTHRAX IN CHIMPANZEES COMBINES CHROMOSOMAL PROPERTIES OF B. CEREUS WITH B. ANTHRACIS VIRULENCE PLASMIDS.

The genome of a Bacillus isolate causing anthrax in chimpanzees combines chromosomal properties of B. cereus with B. anthracis virulence plasmids.

Anthrax is a fatal disease caused by strains of Bacillus anthracis.Members of this monophyletic species are non motile and are all characterized by the presence of four prophages and a nonsense mutation in the plcR regulator gene.Here we report the complete genome sequence of a Bacillus strain isolated from a chimpanzee that had died with clinical

A Review of Detection Methods for Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci (VRE) Genes: From Conventional Approaches to Potentially Electrochemical DNA Biosensors

Vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE) genes are bacteria strains generated from Gram-positive bacteria and resistant to one of the glycopeptides antibiotics, commonly, vancomycin.VRE genes have been identified worldwide and exhibit considerable phenotypic and genotypic variations.There are six identified phenotypes of vancomycin-resistant genes: V
