Ultrasensitive Detection of <i>Bacillus anthracis</i> by Real-Time PCR Targeting a Polymorphism in Multi-Copy 16S rRNA Genes and Their Transcripts

Ultrasensitive Detection of <i>Bacillus anthracis</i> by Real-Time PCR Targeting a Polymorphism in Multi-Copy 16S rRNA Genes and Their Transcripts

The anthrax pathogen <i>Bacillus anthracis</i> poses a significant threat to human health. Identification of <i>B. anthracis</i> is challenging because of the bacterium’s close genetic relationship to other <i>Bacillus cereus</i> group species. Thus, molecular det...
