    • Abstract:
      The best approach for combating the bioterrorism threat requires implementing detection and containment measures and treating affected individuals as quickly as possible post release. Since DNA can provide a unique signature for all organisms, it is a logical focus for pathogen detection. The challenge of adapting these techniques for pathogen identification has been met and is now being elaborated for the most important bioweapon pathogens. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
