What is the biosafety level and CFIA risk group of Brevibacillus choshinensis?

Brevibacillus choshinensis — also catalogued under its former name Bacillus choshinensis — is a bacterium assessed for human-health risk by Health Canada's ePATHogen database. For growers, formulators, or researchers asking about the Brevibacillus choshinensis biosafety level before laboratory or agricultural use, ePATHogen assigns it to human Risk Group 1 (RG1).

Manufacturers and researchers evaluating Brevibacillus choshinensis safety data for microbial inoculant dossiers or expression-system work can cite this RG1 designation as the current Health Canada classification. No hazard data beyond the RG1 assignment appears in the ePATHogen record for this species.
