I have a plant-derived compound that is particularly toxic to members of the genus Bacillus. Bacillus subtilis is dead in 8 minutes, Bacillus cereus (closely related to B. anthracis) in less than 2 minutes. The plant is edible and early tests indicate that the extract is non-toxic to humans. Moreover it's cheap and easy to prep the extracts. Minimum bactericidal levels are typically 15ug/mL. I suggest this could have promise?
