Current and emerging technologies for the study of bacteria in the outdoor air

Current Opinion in Biotechnology
Cheryl R Kuske

Abstract

Pathogenic bacteria dispersed into the outdoor air from natural events or human activity are an important concern affecting public health, agriculture, ecological health and international security. Recent studies in atmospheric microbiology have contributed to our ability to detect bacterial pathogens in air samples, increased our knowledge of the spatial and temporal dispersal of aerosolized bacteria and furthered our understanding of the natural bacterial diversity and composition of air. Significant questions remain about bacterial dispersal and diversity in outdoor air that will benefit from continued technological advances. These include determining spatial and temporal patterns of aerosol dispersal, identifying the links between detection, concentration and viability of bacterial pathogens and disease incidence, and documenting the composition and regional movement of bacterial species in air.

Anthrax Vaccines (ASM)

Three different types of anthrax vaccines are available; a live-attenuated, an alum-precipitated cell-free filtrate and a protein recombinant vaccine. The effectiveness between the three is uncertain, but the live-attenuated have shown to reduce the risk of anthrax with low adverse events. Here is the latest research on anthrax vaccines.

Anthrax

Anthrax toxin, comprising protective antigen, lethal factor, and oedema factor, is the major virulence factor of Bacillus anthracis, an agent that causes high mortality in humans and animals. Here is the latest research on Anthrax.
