Isolation and characterization of Bacillus anthracis in Georgia from veterinary isolates

摘要

Background: The Republic of Georgia, once a member of the former Soviet Union (FSU), is a country with a significant endemic pathogen population. Since investigation of these pathogens using modern methods has only just begun, there are many gaps in Georgia's current knowledge of the prevalence and incidence of certain priority pathogens, including the incidence of veterinary disease by B. anthracis.
