Archival and Newly Isolated Historical <i>Bacillus anthracis</i> Strains Populate the Deeper Phylogeny of the A.Br.075(Sterne) Clade by Markus Antwerpen, Peter Braun, Wolfgang Beyer, Dirk Aldenkortt, Michael Seidel, Gregor Grass

“…A further 11 isolates amend the clade named A.Br.Para-Sterne (A.Br.078). Finally, some of the terminal clusters of the clade named A.Br.Eu-Sterne appear to be replete with (near) identical isolates, possibly a result of widespread use of the Sterne vaccine and of its re-isolation from vaccination-related animal anthrax outbreaks. …”
