| | In terms of practicality, the use of physiological and morphological methods are the most practical for food and beverage testing laboratories. | | | This, in most cases, may be due to the emphasis being on alternative foodborne organisms such as Salmonella spp. | | | By focusing on these key species which have both public health and economic implications, we have been able to develop an identification system based on substrates that have been specifically formulated to ensure that those problems associated with conventional substrates (discussed earlier) do not occur. |

| | Bacillus anthracis needs oxygen to sporulate; this constraint has important consequences for epidemiology and control. | | | The clinical forms include (1) cutaneous anthrax (eschar with edema), from handling infected material (this accounts for more than 95 percent of cases); (2) intestinal anthrax, from eating infected meat; and (3) pulmonary anthrax, from inhaling spore-laden dust. | | | On the other hand, the resistance of the spores to sterilization and disinfection makes them problem contaminants in foods, medical supplies, surgical procedures, etc. |

| | The assay was specific for 144 Bacillus anthracis strains from different geographical locations and did not cross-react with 175 strains of other related bacilli, with the exception of one strain. | | | This ability to survive extreme conditions for long periods of time is one of the major reasons Bacillus anthracis has been used by terrorists. | | | Four nucleotides specific for Bacillus anthracis were identified. |
