Microbial Forensic as a Tool for Bioterrorism: A Review

Microbial forensic usually used to detect bio crimes and toxification using microorganisms. Bioterrorism covers a wide spread of concerns, from catastrophic terrorism with mass casualties, to micro-events with modern technology with dual use research of concern and death to the military officials, scientists, and the general public. Compared to other sectors of the population, clinical microbiologists have valuable concerns about bioterrorism. Historically since the pre-Christian era, bioweapons have resulted in the decimation of whole communities and have changed the geopolitics of several places. Bioterrorism, the deliberate, private use of biological agents to harm and frighten the people of a state or society, is related to the military use of biological, chemical, and nuclear weapons. Attacks with biological agents are among the most insidious and breed the greatest fear. Attacks could go undetected for a long time, potentially exposing a vast number of people who are unaware of the threat. In this paper, the role of microorganisms on bioterrorism and as a potential tool is critically here in terms of bioweapon; that is, organism plays the role of bioweapons to cause harm or diseases.
