Genomic Insights into the Pathogenicity and Drug-Resistance of a Bacillus cereus Isolated from Human Teeth
The newly isolated <i>B. cereus</i> carries many virulence genes, including enterotoxins and hemolysins, similar to <i>B. anthracis</i>, and multiple antibiotic resistance genes. These findings suggest that the strain has a potential risk of causing disease. Our studies are vital for further exploration of the evolution of <i>B. cereus</i>, its pathogenic mechanisms, and the control and treatment of bacterial infections.
