Pyrosequencing Bacillus anthracis

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2005
Pyrosequencing technology is a sequencing method that screens DNA nucleotide incorporation in real time. A set of coupled enzymatic reactions, together with bioluminescence, detects incorporated nucleotides in the form of light pulses, which produces a ...

Ruling Out Bacillus anthracis

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2004
Optimization of methods for ruling out Bacillus anthracis leads to increased yields, faster turnaround times, and a lighter workload. We used 72 environmental non–B. anthracis bacilli to validate methods for ruling out B. anthracis.

Anthrax, but not Bacillus anthracis? [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2006
The article focuses on the other possible agents of anthrax aside from bacillus anthracis and other soil dwelling bacterium of the genus bacillus. It is stated that bacillus anthracis is a close relative of bacillus cereus and bacillus thuringiensis ...

Bovine Bacillus anthracis in Cameroon [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2011
Bovine Bacillus anthracis isolates from Cameroon were genetically characterized. They showed a strong homogeneity, and they belong, together with strains from Chad, to cluster A beta, which appears to be predominant in western Africa. However, one strain

Meningitis due to Bacillus anthracis

Yonsei Medical Journal, 2005
The first case of haemorrhagic meningitis due to Bacillus anthracis in the European part of Turkey is reported here. B. anthracis, sensitive to penicillin, was isolated from the cerebrospinal fluid and blood cultures.

Inactivation of Bacillus anthracis Spores

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2003
After the intentional release of Bacillus anthracis through the U.S. Postal Service in the fall of 2001, many environments were contaminated with B. anthracis spores, and frequent inquiries were made regarding the science of destroying these spores.

Decontamination Efficacy and Skin Toxicity of Two Decontaminants against Bacillus anthracis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Decontamination of bacterial endospores such as Bacillus anthracis has traditionally required the use of harsh or caustic chemicals. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a chlorine dioxide decontaminant in killing Bacillus anthracis ...

Rapid Microscopic Detection of Bacillus anthracis by Fluorescent Receptor Binding Proteins of Bacteriophages

Microorganisms, 2020
Bacillus anthracis, the etiological agent of anthrax disease, is typically diagnosed by immunological and molecular methods such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
