US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: To build a public database of Bacillus anthracis
Release date: 2014-08-07
Recently, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said it will establish a public database on Bacillus anthracis in Atlanta. The CDC said it is already looking for contractors who can build this public database.
The move stemmed from an anthrax event that occurred in the Atlanta lab in June. As some researchers in the laboratory did not follow proper procedures when inactivating Bacillus anthracis, they transferred samples containing live bacteria to a laboratory with low safety measures and no equipment for handling Bacillus anthracis equipment, giving staff the opportunity to be exposed. In an environment with Bacillus anthracis, as many as 75 scientists may have accidentally come into contact with deadly anthrax. Therefore, in just a few weeks, the CDC took action and announced the establishment of a public database on Bacillus anthracis.
In the relevant announcement, the CDC stated that “for in-depth analysis of bioterrorism events and potential sources of strains, it is critical to be able to quickly genotype and compare them in a databaseâ€.
According to the CDC, different laboratories around the world are using different technologies for genotyping. Most laboratories have established databases through different methods, but they use comprehensive methods and do not store them in a comprehensive database. When new Bacillus anthracis strains appear, the CDC must simultaneously view its own database and compare it to other laboratory databases.
The CDC said it hopes to expand the capacity of its own B. anthracis database to identify and analyze the genetic sequences of 500 different strains.
“The public database was created to get data from all over the world, especially from places where it was previously difficult to obtain strains. We need to make quick and effective strain comparisons,†said the CDC responsible person.

Dehydrated millet onions are made by air-drying fresh millet onions for easy transportation and storage. It is used in family meals, restaurants and seasonings. Delicious and delicious, it is an indispensable spice in life. In life, people don't know how to eat dehydrated millet onions. Here are some practical methods of millet onions.
