Bacillus cereus biovar anthracis is a variant of the Bacillus cereus bacterium that has acquired plasmids similar to those of Bacillus anthracis. As a result, it is capable of causing anthrax.[1][2] In 2016, it was added to the CDC's list of select agents and toxins.[3]

Bacillus cereus biovar anthracis infection has caused significant mortality in numerous mammalian species, including chimpanzees.[4]
