Gamma Irradiation Can Be Used To Inactivate <i>Bacillus anthracis</i> Spores without Compromising the Sensitivity of Diagnostic Assays

31 May 2008

Abstract excerpt

The use of Bacillus anthracis as a biological weapon in 2001 heightened awareness of the need for validated methods for the inactivation of B. anthracis spores. This study determined the gamma irradiation dose for inactivating virulent B. anthracis spores in suspension and its effects on real-time PCR and antigen detection assays. Strains representing eight genetic groups of B. anthracis were exposed to gamma...
