Agar diffusion method for the differentiation of Bacillus anthracis.
A method was developed for identification of Bacillus anthracis based on elaboration of protective antigen by individual colonies and its detection by double-diffusion precipitation in agar plates.
متن کاملAgar diffusion method for the assay of colicins.
An agar diffusion method for the assay of colicins A, B, D, E(2), E(3), and K is described. The assays were performed in large, square pyrex dishes that contained an agar layer seeded with an indicator organism sensitive to the colicin. The samples were applied to the agar in steatite beads positioned in a randomized sequence. The plates were stored at 4 C for 24 hr to allow the colicins to dif...
متن کاملDifferentiation of Bacillus anthracis from other Bacillus cereus group bacteria with the PCR.
Variation among isolates of Bacillus anthracis was examined by using restriction fragmentation patterns and the PCR performed with arbitrary and sequence-specific oligonucleotide primers. The patterns were compared with the patterns generated from strains of closely related species belonging to the "Bacillus cereus group" of bacteria, including B. cereus, Bacillus thuringiensis, and Bacillus my...
متن کاملCriteria for the identification of Bacillus anthracis.
The identification of Bacillus anthracis involves its differentiation from other aerobic sporeformers, particularly Bacillus cereus. Smith et al. (1952), in a study of aerobic sporeforming bacteria, concluded that B. anthracis is a pathogenic variety of B. cereus. They also stated that strains of B. anthracis which had lost their virulence could not be differentiated from B. cereus. This appare...
متن کاملSelective medium for Bacillus anthracis.
A need has existed for a selective medium that allows for growth of Bacillus anthracis while inhibiting common contaminants and closely related sporeformers (e.g., B. cereus). A selective medium (PLET medium) was developed containing the following ingredients added to Difco Heart Infusion Agar (HIA): polymyxin, 30 units/ml; lysozyme, 40 ,ug/ml; disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA), 300 ,...
