This study identifies microbial community signatures associated with Listeria spp. detection in German meat processing facilities, highlighting drains as key niches and linking specific taxa to Listeria presence.

This study characterizes 20 archived B. paranthracis clinical strains, highlighting phenotypic similarities and differences with B. anthracis and assessing MinION sequencing for antimicrobial resistance detection.

This study examines how different soilless farming systems and seasonal conditions affect microbial communities in nutrient solutions and plant leaves.

This study identifies SNPs in enterotoxin genes that better predict cytotoxicity of B. cereus group strains in Caco-2 cells than enterotoxin gene presence alone.

This study investigates prophage-like elements in Bacillus subtilis across global and local scales, revealing their diversity, integration patterns, and potential impact on host evolution and physiology.

This study develops an exposure assessment model to predict B. cereus group growth in HTST milk under temperature abuse conditions, showing some genotypes can reach 105 CFU/mL by day 35 of storage.

kmerDB provides a database of genomic and proteomic sequence information, including kmers, quasi-primes, and primes, for 45,785 genomes and 22,386 proteomes.

This study evaluates four bioinformatics tools for detecting crystal protein-encoding genes in Bacillus cereus s.s. biovar Thuringiensis using whole-genome sequencing data, finding IDOPS performs best overall.

The paper develops BTyperDB, a global atlas of Bacillus cereus sensu lato genomes, to improve pathogen surveillance and identify emerging lineages.

The paper identifies a new Bacillus species, Bacillus clarus, based on genomic and phenotypic analysis of an isolate from soil.
