Definitive identification of Bacillus anthracis—a review

摘要: The word 'problem' is seen with some frequency in relation to clear differentiation between Bacillus anthracis and B. cereus. In fact, although the close relationship of these two species undisputed, it only case a few borderline isolates, rarely encountered practice, that any sort identification problem exists. Until recently this was important taxonomist who found unsatisfactory not be able identify definitively such isolates. To most others, if isolate unable produce anthrax laboratory animal, discarded as irrelevant without being named, or called cereus given name similis, even totally unrelated name. More recently, view new light which increasingly seen, resulting from its putative association bioaggression, has become more critical issue. This paper reviews current state art suggests way forward for future.
