Production of anthrax isolate, its registration and studу of biological properties in accordance with biological safety requirements

Abstract

State collections of pathogenic microorganisms play an important role in ensuring the biological safety of Russian Federation. They carry out storage and comprehensive study of collection strains of microorganisms using modern methods. The collection fund is formed due to the deposition and receipt of strains upon request from other collections, also those isolated during the indication, diagnostic and monitoring studies of natural ecosystems, and in the course of experimental activities. The purpose of this work was to study the biological properties of the anthrax pathogen isolate obtained in the established manner, issue a passport for it and include it in the list of collection strains for further storage. An isolate of anthrax pathogen isolated during diagnostic studies from pigs in the city of Sengiley, Ulyanovsk region. The results of the study showed that the biological properties of the isolate are identical to the virulent strain “Ch-7” of the anthrax pathogen. As a result, the isolate was assigned to the genus Bacillus, species anthracis and designated as the strain “Sengiley”, with the introduction of these data necessary journals. The work carried out to study the biological properties of anthrax isolate showed a strict compliance with biological safety requirements with the execution of all necessary documents in accordance with regulatory documents.
