Abstract excerpt

Bacillus cereus strain G9241 was isolated from a patient with pneumonia who had an anthrax-like illness. Like Bacillus anthracis, the virulence of G9241 is dependent on two large plasmids. In G9241 those plasmids are pBCXO1 and pBC210. There is a multi-gene capsule locus on each of these virulence plasmids, and both capsules are produced by G9241 in vitro and in mice. The hasACB operon on pBCXO1 is responsible...
