Microbial forensics: next-generation sequencing as catalyst
W hen Antonie van Leeuwenhoek experimented with his microscopes in the late 17 century, he observed, among many other small things, bacteria from the mouth cavity. van Leeuwenhoek’s detailed descriptions of bacteria, spermatozoa, and cells marked the beginning of microbiology; his successors Robert Koch and Louis Pasteur stoked further interest in the microbial world with their discoveries of t...

متن کاملBayesian-integrated microbial forensics.
In the aftermath of the 2001 anthrax letters, researchers have been exploring ways to predict the production environment of unknown-source microorganisms. Culture medium, presence of agar, culturing temperature, and drying method are just some of the broad spectrum of characteristics an investigator might like to infer. The effects of many of these factors on microorganisms are not well underst...
متن کاملPublic health. Building microbial forensics as a response to bioterrorism.
Combating bioterrorism is a challenge to all of us. To be proactive, the U.S. Government has formalized the discipline of "microbial forensics" to deter and attribute perpetrators of such acts. This Policy Forum describes the foundations of the microbial forensics program: the creation of a national bioforensics laboratory, a partnership laboratory network, and a peer-consensus scientific worki...
متن کاملUbiquitous Computing for Microbial Forensics and Bioterrorism
abstract Microorganisms are ubiquitous in their presence. They are present in air, soil, water, and all kinds of living creatures. Varieties of microbes have been linked to diseases of humans, animals, and plants. Advances in molecular biology, electronics , nanotechnology, computer sciences, and information technology have made it possible to hybridize these to create ubiquitous devices and bi...
