Rapid identification of pathogenic bacteria by single-enzyme amplified fragment length polymorphism analysis

Interaction of dipicolinic acid with water-soluble and immobilized porphyrins

“…Recent threats of contamination in the United States and the continuing danger to military personnel and civilians alike indicate the need for a detector of biological agents that operates in real time and that can function in a variety of environments. Several methods for detection of bacterial spores have been developed including PCR [2,3], immunofiltration assay [4,5], polymorphism analysis [6], direct detection of DNA sequences [7], liquid chromatography [8], FT-IR [9] and those which indicate bacterial spore presence by detection of DPA [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20].…”

Isolation and characterization of microsatellite loci from mangrove red snapper Lutjanus argentimaculatus

“…2005). Although SE-AFLP fragments can be easily scored by visual inspection because of the low complexity of the fingerprint obtained by this method (Velappana et al . 2001), the limitation of this method is obvious: a genetic sequencer is often required for the accuracy resolution of the length for DNA fragments, and some SE-AFLP fragments could reach 1-4 kb (Gibson et al .…”

A Systematic Review of Risk Analysis Tools for Differentiating Unnatural From Natural Epidemics

“…The methods developed by Radosavljevic V, Belojevic G, 26,28 and Finke EJ, 27 which cover similar epidemiological parameters of deliberate epidemics but weighs criteria with better measurability, perhaps can provide a quicker detection of an unnatural outbreak. During a suspected, unnatural outbreak, the rapid identification of a bioterrorism event usually depends on the early diagnosis of the disease agent, 37,38 but it is always difficult, particularly for the new emerging infectious pathogens and genetically modified bioterrorism agents.…”
