Sequencing of 16S rRNA Gene: A Rapid Tool for Identification of Bacillus anthracis

Sequencing of 16S rRNA Gene: A Rapid Tool for Identification of Bacillus anthracis

In a bioterrorism event, a tool is needed to rapidly differentiate Bacillus anthracis from other closely related spore-forming Bacillus species. During the recent outbreak of bioterrorism-associated anthrax, we sequenced the 16S rRNA generom these species to evaluate the potential of 16S rRNA gene s...
