TL;DR: The sequencing and analysis of the type strain B. cereus ATCC 14579 together with the gapped genome of B. anthracis A2012 enables the comparative analysis to clarify the phylogeny of the cereus group, and the latter to determine plasmid-independent species-specific markers.

TL;DR: It is concluded that S. thermophilus has evolved mainly through loss-of-function events that remarkably mirror the environment of the dairy niche resulting in a severely diminished pathogenic potential.
