Besides traditional microbiological techniques, a variety of molecular biological methods have been described for the selective identification of B. anthracis. Most of them use specific genes or proteins as targets for recognition and discrimination from related microorganisms. Genomic methods target unique gene sequences located on plasmids or in bacterial chromosomes. The differentiation of B. anthracis from B. cereus sensu stricto, solely based on chromosomal markers, is difficult due to the:
