The Secret Life of the Anthrax Agent Bacillus anthracis: Bacteriophage-Mediated Ecological Adaptations PLoS ONE, 4 (8) DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0006532 Images: Cow by Daniel Schwen ...

Few strands of bacteria have achieved such a central place in public consciousness as Bacillus anthracis, the bacteria which causes Anthrax. While today it is a feared weapon of bioterrorism ...

Recently, researchers at the university turned the bacteria responsible for causing anthrax (bacillus anthracis) into a cancer drug delivery system by hijacking its function -- much in the same ...

New research suggests that anthrax-causing bacteria conspire with viruses to extend each other's lifespan. The work reveals a previously unknown relationship between Bacillus anthracis and viruses ...

Bacillus anthracis bacteria have exceptionally efficient machinery for injecting toxic proteins into cells, leading to the potentially deadly infection known as anthrax. A team of MIT researchers ...

Anthrax is an infectious disease caused by bacteria known as Bacillus anthracis. The bacteria are found naturally in soil and commonly affect animals such as cattle, sheep and goats more than ...

Date: November 22, 2008 Source: Scripps Research Institute Summary: Scientists have discovered the key chemical that signals Bacillus anthracis, the bacterium that causes anthrax, to become lethal.

Researchers from the Academy of Military Medical Sciences in Beijing, China, have confirmed the presence of Bacillus anthracis —bacteria that causes anthrax—at Unit 731, a Japanese World War ...

Bacillus anthracis bacteria have very efficient machinery for injecting toxic proteins into cells, leading to the potentially deadly infection known as anthrax. A team of MIT researchers has now ...

The CDC's report says scientists at the Roybal campus biosafety level 3 labs were preparing Bacillus anthracis -- the bacteria that causes anthrax infection -- for research in a different lab.

It resembles most of the physical properties of the Bacillus anthracis bacteria. It even has a genetic make-up similar to that of the deadly pathogen, and most importantly, it makes hardy, durable ...
