This valuable resource is a major addition to a body of literature reckoned to lack sufficient breadth. It presents a variety of phenotypic and trace signature methodologies associated with cultured microorganisms that, despite being genetically identical, may be characterized by differing cultural environments.. .One of the central challenges faced by those working in this field is the sheer diversity of potentially harmful agents, which in themselves total more than 1000 viruses, bacteria, fungi and protozoan parasites. Their numerous additional variants render the process of ‘fingerprinting’ biological agents notoriously difficult, especially when the limitations of genetic analysis are factored in. Attribution of crime is relatively easy through human DNA, but lacking the genetic individuation of humans and animals, microbial forensics has to complement phylogenetic techniques with chemical and physical ones. . .In the best case, genetic analysis in the ‘biocrime’ sector can exc | 出版日期 | Book 2012 | 关键词 | Chemical; Forensic; Microbial; Physical; Signature | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-60327-219-3 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4939-5686-9 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-60327-219-3 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2012 |
