Intrlaboratory comparative tests of biological laboratories of NATO armies

Original language description

One of the key requirements of the biodefense system of the Czech Armed Forces is a capability to identify the biological warfare agents (BWA). In this regard the Central Military Health Institute that is responsible for the biodefense in the Czech ArmedForces took part in 10thAnnual international comparative exercise of the NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) military biological laboratories. The aim of this test was the identification of Bacillus anthracis in unknown samples which were contaminated by different disinfectants. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was chosen as optimal method for this exercise because of a robustness, speed and flexibility of this method. Due to the presence of a disinfectant the identification procedure could only be conducted after including an additional step to sample preparation. Tandem mass spectrometry was selected as a confirmatory method for the exercise. Our test result was in full agreement with the exercise design. This exercise
