In response to the need for methods that can rapidly detect potentially virulentBacillus anthracis spores, we developed a two-color flow cytometric assay capable of simultaneously identifyingB. anthracis spores and the presence of spore-associated protective antigen, a virulence marker for strains harboring the pXO1 plasmid.
