Biological Properties and Molecular Genetic Characteristics of Bacillus Anthracis Strains Isolated During Anthrax Outbreaks in Kazakhstan in 2016

Today, anthrax is recorded in many countries around the world, in Kazakhstan – in the form of sporadic cases or small outbreaks. Despite the endemicity of anthrax in Kazakhstan, the genetic diversity strains is not well described. At the moment, MLVA-25, which is sufficient for molecular and epidemi...
