Environment Testing

Testing Investigation Areas - Anthrax or other Biothreat Bacteria

During the course of an investigation important information may be obtained from sampling the environment where the exposure may have occurred. Testing of the environment is useful for detecting trace amounts of many microorganisms, including anthrax spores. Specimens obtained may include:

  • Swabs on contamination of various surfaces
  • Samples of the air (off filters)
  • Paper samples
  • Soil samples
  • Cloth
  • Water

These possible Anthrax or other biothreat bacteria samples are processed in the laboratory to promote growth of any spores, if present. If bacteria grow, additional testing can be performed.
