Abstract excerpt

Bacillus cereus G9241 caused a life-threatening anthrax-like lung infection in a previously healthy human. This strain harbors two large virulence plasmids, pBCXO1 and pBC210, that are absent from typical B. cereus isolates. The pBCXO1 plasmid is nearly identical to pXO1 from Bacillus anthracis and carries genes (pagA1, lef, and cya) for anthrax toxin components (protective antigen [called PA1 in G9241], lethal...
