Detection of Bacillus Spores by Aptamer Selectivity Using Atomic Force Microscopy

The anthrax attack of Oct 2001 demonstrates the need for a rapid detector for spores of Bacillus anthracis (BA). Current technology requires cultures of BA to be grown for 24 hours. Using aptamers, a type of nucleic acid ligand selective for a target molecule, to select BA spores for measurement wit...
