Genomic Characterization and Copy Number Variation of <italic toggle="yes">Bacillus anthracis</italic> Plasmids pXO1 and pXO2 in a Historical Collection of 412 Strains

ABSTRACT Bacillus anthracis plasmids pXO1 and pXO2 carry the main virulence factors responsible for anthrax. However, the extent of copy number variation within the species and how the plasmids are related to pXO1/pXO2-like plasmids in other species of the Bacillus cereus sensu lato group remain unc...
