Bacillus anthracis, Bacillus cereus, and Bacillus thuringiensis - one species on the basis of genetic evidence

Article Abstract:

Research has been conducted on the members of Bacillus cereus group of bacteria. Results indicate that B. anthracis is closely related to B. cereus and B. thuringiensis strains.

Multilocus sequence typing scheme for bacteria of the Bacillus cereus group

Article Abstract:

Results reveal that the population structure of the Bacillus cereus group is weakly clonal as determined by a multilocus sequence typing. Data indicae that the five isolates of B. anthracis display the same sequence types.

Fluorescent amplified fragment length polymorphism analysis of Bacillus anthracis, Bacillus cereus and Bacillus thuringiensis isolates

Article Abstract:

Bacillus thuringiensis, Bacillus cereus and Bacillus anthracis are three closely related species of the B.cereus group with each of them being economically important and their DNA isolates were analyzed using fluorescent amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP). Phytogenetic analysis of AFLP data showed diversity with B.thuringinesis and B.cereus compared to the monomorphic nature of B.anthracis.
