Abstract:Background. To date, there is little data on the clinical characteristics of Bacillus bacteria found in clean rooms and aseptic facilities.The aim of the study was to identify and determine the resistance of Bacillus strains isolated from the International Space Station and medical laboratory to clinically significant antibiotics.Methods. Isolates were identified using 16S rRNA gene analysis, MALDI-TOF, and whole-genome sequencing. Antibiotic sensitivity was assessed using the disk diffusion method.Results. Se… Show more
