Resumo(s)
Biological terrorist attacks have left many concerned
about the possibility of future incidents
of terrorism and their potential impact. In
response to these attacks, authorities worldwide
increased their preparedness for dealing with
bioterrorism. One major focus was to set up
and improve procedures for the rapid and reliable
detection (or exclusion) of relevant pathogens
in samples suspected to contain such
organisms. Because of a number of unique
advantages, electron microscopy (EM) formed
an integral part of these procedures.
The Portuguese National Institute of Health through Emergency Response and Biopreparedness Unit (UREB) is prepared to recognize and respond
to biological events, including bioterrorism, or catastrophes being responsible for the identification of
the etiological agent.
