Bayesian-integrated microbial forensics.
In the aftermath of the 2001 anthrax letters, researchers have been exploring ways to predict the production environment of unknown-source microorganisms. Culture medium, presence of agar, culturing temperature, and drying method are just some of the broad spectrum of characteristics an investigator might like to infer. The effects of many of these factors on microorganisms are not well underst...
متن کاملUbiquitous Computing for Microbial Forensics and Bioterrorism
abstract Microorganisms are ubiquitous in their presence. They are present in air, soil, water, and all kinds of living creatures. Varieties of microbes have been linked to diseases of humans, animals, and plants. Advances in molecular biology, electronics , nanotechnology, computer sciences, and information technology have made it possible to hybridize these to create ubiquitous devices and bi...
متن کاملMicrobial forensics: next-generation sequencing as catalyst
W hen Antonie van Leeuwenhoek experimented with his microscopes in the late 17 century, he observed, among many other small things, bacteria from the mouth cavity. van Leeuwenhoek’s detailed descriptions of bacteria, spermatozoa, and cells marked the beginning of microbiology; his successors Robert Koch and Louis Pasteur stoked further interest in the microbial world with their discoveries of t...
متن کاملBiocrimes, Microbial Forensics, and the Physician
1242 Attending physicians, regardless of their specialty or setting of practice, may suspect or learn that their patient has been attacked with a biological agent. In such cases, it is important to be aware of the interactions that may occur with law enforcement, and of the role that the evolving science of microbial forensics [1] may play in the investigation. Physicians are in key positions t...
متن کاملMicrobial Forensics: a New Forensic Discipline
In microbial forensics, researchers work to track down the source of a microbe, whether in a criminal investigation of bioterrorism attacks or a study of naturally occurring disease outbreak. It is interplay of classical microbiology, microbial genomics, phylogenetics and bioinformatics. Although microbes have been used as weapons for centuries, the anthrax letter attacks of 2001 generated grea...
