  • Reduced Toxicity

  • Low evidence

  we identified 198 antibiotic resistance genes and 131 virulence factors in unlabeled strains. Particularly high levels of virulence factors were detected in Bacillus cereus (B. cereus) and Enterobacter hormaechei (E. hormaechei), These strains exhibited acute toxicity in mouse experiments.
