Agar diffusion method for the differentiation of Bacillus anthracis.

چکیده
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.

Further purification studies on the protective antigen of Bacillus anthracis produced in vitro.
In a previous investigation (Strange and Belton, 1954), a protein fraction which was active in immunizing rabbits against artificially induced anthrax infection was isolated from culture filtrates of Bacillus anthracis. For the production of protective antigen, the synthetic medium of Wright et al. (1954) or a modified medium containing casein hydrolyzate (Belton and Strange, 1954) was used. No...
متن کاملAntimicrobial susceptibility testing of Bacillus anthracis: comparison of results obtained by using the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards broth microdilution reference and Etest agar gradient diffusion methods.
We determined the patterns of antimicrobial susceptibility of 65 isolates of Bacillus anthracis (50 historical and 15 recent U.S. clinical isolates) to nine antimicrobial agents using the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) broth microdilution reference method. The results for the 50 historical B. anthracis isolates obtained by the broth microdilution method were compar...
متن کاملAntibiotic resistance / susceptibility of 30 isolates of Bacillus anthracis isolated in Iran between 2007 and 2008
Thirty isolates of Bacillus anthracis recovered from animal carcasses, soil and human in different localities in Iran between 2007 and 2008. They were tested by standard disc diffusion susceptibility method for their resistant/ susceptibility to different kinds of antibiotics. According to American National Committee of Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) guidelines all isolates were sensi...
متن کاملDetermination of anthrax foci through isolation of Bacillus anthracis form soil samples of different regions of Iran
To isolate and detect anthrax spores form soil in different regions of Iran in order to find the anthrax foci‚ a total of 668 environmental specimens were collected during 2003-2004. Bacterial endospores were extracted from soil specimens via flotation in distilled water, incubation at room temperature, filtration, heat shock and culture on blood agar and selective PLET media. Bacillus anthraci...
متن کاملRuling Out Bacillus anthracis
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. anth...
