“…Its expansion south of Kazakhstan (Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan) is unknown. Eremenko et al described 66 strains from European Russia (36 strains) or Asian Russia (Siberia, 30 strains) ( Eremenko et al, 2021 ).

“…Branch A is predominant worldwide whereas B is much more restricted. Branch B has been found mostly in Northern Eurasia, in mountainous areas across Western Europe, in South Africa and United States ( Keim et al, 2000 ; Fouet et al, 2002 ; Timofeev et al, 2019 ; Eremenko et al, 2021 ). Branch C is extremely rare with only a few known representatives, isolated in the United States.…”

“…Each of these lineages shows some level of geographic association, often blurred by numerous more or less successful export events. For instance, strains from group Australia94 were first identified in Australia but the group is also predominant in East Anatolia and South Caucasus ( Khmaladze et al, 2014 ; Sahin et al, 2018 ; Eremenko et al, 2021 ), and Australia is believed to have been contaminated in 1847 via bones imported from India and used as fertilizer ( Davies and Harvey, 1972 ; Van Ert et al, 2007 ; Barro et al, 2016 ; Muller et al, 2020 ). The Neolithic model predicts that world history will allow to infer dating points along the phylogeny, in addition to the WNA branching point from Europe toward North America or the “Australia94” export to Australia.…”

This article describes Bacillus anthracis strains isolated in Kazakhstan since the 1950s until year 2016 from sixty-one independent events associated with anthrax in humans and animals. One hundred and fifty-four strains were first genotyped by Multiple Locus VNTR (variable number of tandem repeats) Analysis (MLVA) using 31 VNTR loci. Thirty-five MLVA31 genotypes were resolved, 28 belong to the A1/TEA group, five to A3/Sterne-Ames group, one to A4/Vollum and one to the B clade. This is the first report of the presence of the B-clade in Kazakhstan. The MLVA31 results and epidemiological data were combined to select a subset of seventy-nine representative strains for draft whole genome sequencing (WGS). Strains from Kazakhstan significantly enrich the known phylogeny of the Ames group polytomy, including the description of a new branch closest to the Texas, United States A.Br.Ames sublineage stricto sensu. Three among the seven currently defined branches in the TEA polytomy are present in Kazakhstan, “Tsiankovskii”, “Heroin”, and “Sanitary Technical Institute (STI)”. In particular, strains from the STI lineage are largely predominant in Kazakhstan and introduce numerous deep branching STI sublineages, demonstrating a high geographic correspondence between “STI” and Kazakhstan, Central Asia. This observation is a strong indication that the TEA polytomy emerged after the last political unification of Asian steppes in the fourteenth century of the Common Era. The phylogenetic analysis of the Kazakhstan data and of currently available WGS data of worldwide origin strengthens our understanding of B. anthracis geographic expansions in the past seven centuries.

The surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technique has demonstrated great advantages, such as high sensitivity and minimal equipment requirement. However, its application is largely hindered by high-expense SERS substrates. Here, we develop a low-cost and easily accessible SERS platform based on natural cuttlebone-derived organic matrix (CDOM) for rapid and portable detection of the Bacillus cereus spore biomarker, 2,6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid (DPA). The natural porous structure of CDOM helps achieve a significant load of Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs). By adjusting the amount of NaOH in Tollens' reagent, more uniform AgNPs can be obtained on the surface of CDOM. The pyridine N atom or carboxylic acid O atom of DPA acts on the AgNP surface to produce the characteristic peak of SERS. Meanwhile, internal standard materials are added to resist the instability caused by natural materials. The SERS substrate realized the quantitative detection of DPA within 30 min. The linear range is from 40 to 1000 nM, and the detection limit is 8.62 nM. The sensor can detect bacterial spores in foods, such as milk. This method can be used as a reliable idea and an example for the practical application of biologically derived materials.
