摘要: Abstract : Bacillus anthracis shares the same ecological niche with other members of B. cereus group: especially and thuringiensis. Techniques that differentiate among species using metabolic characteristics can be used to compliment PCR-based methods. These techniques include fatty acid profiling. In this work we compared two metabolicbased assays one profiling method for their effectiveness in distinguishing from spp. Our results indicate methods tested vary widely ability identify many strains.
