Update: 28 September, 2023
The U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) has established a database entry for Bacillus anthracis using the Sherlock® Microbial Identification System (MIS) from MIDI, Inc. The Sherlock MIS identifies over 1,500 species of bacteria, including six bacteria considered potential agents of biological terrorism, through gas chromatographic analysis of fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs). The new B. anthracis data set entry in the Sherlock Bioterrorism Library allows for accurate identification of B. anthracis isolates, estimation of strain relatedness, and potential forensic analysis for attribution of biological threat agent use.
