Observations on the Migration of Bacillus Spores Outside a Contaminated Facility During a Decontamination Efficacy Study. Journal of Bioterrorism & Biodefense.

Impact/Purpose:

The Bio-Response Operational Testing and Evaluation (BOTE) exercise evaluated decontamination technologies in a two-story building experimentally contaminated with Bacillus atrophaeus subspecies globigii spores. The BOTE project provided a means to evaluate the potential for the spores dispersed inside the building to migrate to the outside as well as to investigate a new method for processing soils contaminated with Bacillus spores.
