Paenibacillus alvei

(Redirected from Bacillus alvei)

Paenibacillus alvei (formerly Bacillus alvei) is a species of bacteria within the order Bacillales. Like other species within the genus Paenibacillus, strains of this species grow in novel, vortex-like, or branched patterns.[1] This species is associated with the honey bee disease European foulbrood.[2][3]
