Biothreat Agent Bench Cards for the Sentinel Laboratory

In cooperation with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), APIC produced this Bioterrorism Readiness Plan to serve as a reference document and initial template to facilitate preparation of bioterrorism readiness plans for individual institutions. Some recommendations and language are dated. Brucella species, Burkholderia mallei, Burkholderia pseudomallei, Francisella tularensis, and Yersinia pestis. The deck also includes information about the Laboratory Response Network and biochemical reactions, a checklist for sentinel clinical laboratories, and a select agent response algorithm.
