چکیده
Bacillus anthracis causes the acute fatal disease anthrax, is a proven biological weapon, and is endemic in Georgia, where human and animal cases are reported annually. Here, we present whole-genome sequences of 10 historical B. anthracis strains from Georgia.

Isolation of Anthrax Spores from Soil in Endemic Regions of Isfahan, Iran
To isolate and detect anthrax spores from soil in different regions of Isfahan, Iran a total of 60 environmental specimens were collected during 2003. Bacterial endospores were extracted via flotation in distilled water and were cultured on blood agar and selective PLET media. Bacillus anthracis was identified using bacteriological and biological tests. Viable Bacillus anthracis spores were iso...

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 کاملGenome Sequences of Human and Livestock Isolates of Brucella melitensis and Brucella abortus from the Country of Georgia
Brucellosis, which is among the most widespread global zoonotic diseases, is endemic in the nation of Georgia and causes substantial human morbidity and economic loss. Here, we report whole-genome sequences of three Brucella melitensis and seven Brucella abortus isolates from cattle, sheep, and humans that represent genetic groups discovered in Georgia.
متن کاملA Simplified Van Erth Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) Typing Method of Bacillus Anthracis Applicable by Traditional Thermocycler Machines
Abstract SNP typing is now a well-established genotyping system in Bacillus anthracis studies. In the original standard method of Van Erth, SNPs at 13 loci of the B. anthracis genome were analyzed. In order to simplify and make appropriate this expensive method to low-budget laboratory settings, 13 primer pairs targeting the 13 corresponding SNPs were designed. Besides, a universal PCR proto...
