Anthrax is a concern of public health also in many countries where agriculture is the main source of income including India. A rapid and sensitive method to detect B. anthracis is important for control of anthrax in animal cases to maintain public health and for appropriate treatment in human cases. Virulent strains of B. anthracis harbor two plasmids, pXO1 and pXO2, that carry unique genes conferring toxin production and capsule synthesis capability. PCR?based techniques have been successfully used for the rapid and accurate detection of virulent strains of B. anthracis.


Bacillus anthracis (B. anthracis), the causative organism of Anthrax is a Gram?positive spore forming, non? motile bacillus commonly found as endospores in soil.   Anthrax is a zoonotic disease which is mainly associated with herbivores and domestic animals. Human anthrax is less common and usually spreads to human populations through close occupational proximity to infected livestock by handling infected domestic animals including cattle and goats or their products like skin, meat, hides and bones. The potential use of this bacterium as a bioterrorism agent haslong been suspected because itsspores can be aerosolized and sprayed to spread disease, are extremely resistant to natural conditions and can survive for several decades in the environment.
