Comparing microbiological and molecular diagnostic tools for the surveillance of anthrax

2024-04-03

Abstract excerpt

The diagnosis of anthrax, a zoonotic disease caused by Bacillus anthracis can be complicated by detection of closely related species. Conventional diagnosis of anthrax involves microscopy, culture identification of bacterial colonies and molecular detection. Genetic markers used are often virulence gene targets such as Bacillus anthracis protective antigen ( pagA, as also called BAPA, occurring on plasmid pXO1)...
