The document discusses the identification and characterization of Bacillus anthracis spores using a novel two-color flow cytometric assay. This method combines a species-specific fluorescent peptide with an antibody-based detection of protective antigen (PA) to differentiate between Bacillus anthracis strains based on their virulence. The study highlights the importance of rapid detection methods for bioterrorism threats and presents findings on the stability of surface PA in stored spores, ultimately contributing to improved spore-based detection strategies.

We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

What is the identification of Bacillus anthracis?

anthracis are Gram-positive thick, long, straight bacilli with square or truncated ends with parallel sides found usually single, in pairs or chains of 3 or 4 bacilli. The chain of bacilli with truncated and swollen ends gives a characteristic bamboo stick appearance.

How is anthrax identified?

Anthrax is diagnosed when the Bacillus anthracis bacterium is found in the blood, skin lesions or respiratory secretions by a laboratory culture. It can also be diagnosed by measuring specific antibodies in the blood of infected persons.

What color are the endospores in Bacillus anthracis?

Green-stained endospores seen amongst these red-colored, Bacillus anthracis bacteria. Under a magnification of 1000X and using the malachite green spore staining technique, this photomicrograph highlights the green-stained endospores seen amongst these red-colored, Bacillus anthracis bacteria.

What is the microscopic appearance of Bacillus anthracis?

Bacillus anthracis (B. anthracis) is a Gram-positive rod-shaped bacterium that is the causative agent of the disease anthrax. B. anthracis rods typically have dimensions of approximately 1 m by 4 m and may occur in chains resembling boxcars when observed under a microscope.

What are the spores of Bacillus anthracis?

Abstract. In response to starvation, Bacillus anthracis can form a specialized cell type called the spore, which is the infectious particle for the disease anthrax. The spore is largely metabolically inactive and can resist a wide range of stresses found in nature.

How do you identify Bacillus?

Diagnosis is confirmed by observation of characteristic encapsulated bacilli in polychrome methylene blue-stained smears of blood, exudate, lymph, cerebrospinal fluid, etc., and/or by culture. Other Bacillus infections are diagnosed by culture of the bacteria.
