Ultrasensitive detection of <i>Bacillus anthracis</i> by real time PCR targeting a polymorphism in multi-copy 16S rRNA genes and their transcripts

2021-09-23

Abstract excerpt

The anthrax pathogen Bacillus anthracis poses a significant threat to human health. Identification of B. anthracis is challenging because of the bacterium’s close genetic relationship to other Bacillus cereus group species. Thus, molecular detection is founded on species-specific PCR targeting single-copy genes. Here, we validated a previously recognized multi-copy target, a species-specific SNP present in 2-5 cop...
