Περίληψη:
Optimization of methods for ruling out Bacillus anthracis leads to
increased yields, faster turnaround times, and a lighter workload. We
used 72 environmental non-B. anthracis bacilli to validate methods for
ruling out B. anthracis. Most effective were the use of horse blood
agar, motility testing after isolates had a 2-h incubation in trypticase
soy broth, and screening isolates with a B. anthracis-selective agar.
