This is especially the case in environments where build-up of Bacillus spores can occur and several representatives of the B. cereus group may be present, which increases the chance for false-positives. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Ovarian Mass

  We report a 40-year-old female patient who was admitted to the hospital because of a left ovarian mass torsion. A nonhemolytic, nonmotile Bacillus, suspicious of Bacillus anthracis, was isolated from a blood culture. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Several B. anthracis Ames proteins have sequence homology to proteins that contribute to the virulence of the Gram-positive pathogen Listeria monocytogenes 12. [nature.com]
