Rapid-Viability PCR Method for Detection of Live, Virulent Bacillus anthracis in Environmental Samples. APPLIED AND ENVIRONMENTAL MICROBIOLOGY.

Impact/Purpose:

The method, referred to as rapid-viability (RV)-PCR, uses the change in cycle threshold after incubation to detect the presence of live organisms. In this article, we report a novel RV-PCR method for detection of live, virulent Bacillus anthracis.
