Loss of Bacitracin Resistance Due to a Large Genomic Deletion among Bacillus anthracis Strains

Loss of Bacitracin Resistance Due to a Large Genomic Deletion among Bacillus anthracis Strains

ABSTRACT Bacillus anthracis is a Gram-positive endospore-forming bacterial species that causes anthrax in both humans and animals. In Zambia, anthrax cases are frequently reported in both livestock and wildlife, with occasional transmission to humans, causing serious public health problems in the co...
