TL;DR: Several chromosomally encoded proteins that may contribute to pathogenicity—including haemolysins, phospholipases and iron acquisition functions—and numerous surface proteins that might be important targets for vaccines and drugs are found.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A public health approach with genome analysis is combined to provide insight into the correlation of phenotypic characteristics and their genetic basis and represents an example of how genomics could rapidly assist public health experts responding not only to clearly identified select agents but also to novel agents with similar pathogenic potentials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Investigating the genome diversity of B. cereus and evolutionary aspects of B. anthracis emergence.

TL;DR: The use of a multi-genome DNA microarray is reported to investigate the genome diversity of Bacillus cereus group members and elucidate the events associated with the emergence of Bacillin anthracis the causative agent of anthrax-a lethal zoonotic disease.
