Comparison of the whole-genome sequence of Bacillus anthracis isolated from a victim of a recent bioterrorist anthrax attack with a reference reveals 60 new markers that include single nucleotide ...

本研究针对炭疽芽孢杆菌(Bacillus anthracis)抗生素耐药性日益严重的问题，探究了传统药用植物Ampelocissus latifolia根部的甲醇提取物(MRE)的抗菌活性。通过体外实验证实MRE对B. anthracis具有强效杀菌作用(MIC=0.078 mg/mL)，其机制是通过破坏细菌细胞壁导致内容物泄漏。

Few strands of bacteria have achieved such a central place in public consciousness as Bacillus anthracis, the bacteria which causes Anthrax. While today it is a feared weapon of bioterrorism Bacillus ...

Bacillus anthracis is a spore-forming bacterium that causes anthrax in humans and in other mammals. The glycoprotein BclA (Bacillus collagen-like protein of anthracis) is a major constituent of the ...

After a three-year effort, scientists have determined the crystal structure of edema factor, a toxic protein secreted by Bacillus anthracis, the bacteria that causes anthrax.1 Edema factor (EF) works ...

The bacteria of Anthrax is a gram-positive, spore-forming, rod-shaped (bacillus) bacterium. It needs oxygen to thrive and has a capsule around it and hence has a protective layer around it. A spore is ...

Antibiotics against anthrax attack the bacteria, not the deadly toxins that the bacteria secrete. If a patient does not receive antibiotics in the infection's early stage, he or she can die from ...

The US Food and Drug Administration has conducted a proof-of-concept study assessing the viability of using nanoparticles, made out of the element europium, to detect the anthrax bacteria. The test ...

VALENCIA, CA — A recent study has confirmed that UV light alone is insufficient to disinfect anthrax spores. However, with the correct exposure and proper filtration, UV products can be effective ...
