Decontamination of Bacillus anthracis Spores: Evaluation of Various Disinfectants.
The present study compares the efficacy of various disinfectants against Bacillus anthracis spores. While Bleach Rite(®) and 10% bleach reduce spore numbers by 90% within 10 minutes, a long contact time is required for complete disinfection. By contrast, although SporGon(®) did not initially reduce the number of spores as quickly as Bleach Rite or 10% bleach, shorter contact times were required...
متن کاملEvaluation of immune response to recombinant Bacillus anthracis LFD1-PA4 chimeric protein
Background: Anthrax is a particularly dangerous infectious disease that affects humans and livestock. Efficacious vaccines that can rapidly induce a long-term immune response are required to prevent anthrax infection in humans. Domains 4 and 1 of the protective antigen (PA) and lethal factor (LF), respectively, have very high antigenic properties. Aims: In this...
