Sažetak
Smith (2011) references a Department of Homeland security meeting in 2005 from which a report on sample collection, handling, and preservation was issued. The authors of this report stated that the collection and preservation of vital microbial forensic evidence is a critical element of successful investigation and ultimate attribution subsequent to a biological event. A primary goal of collection is to obtain sufficient biological agent to support both species/strain or toxin identification for critical public health decisions and complete signature characterization for valuable lead information. Also, the collection of other relevant traditional forensic evidence must not be overlooked. Trace evidence, fingerprints, and other traditional evidence should be collected and preserved in order to support the attribution mission. (Smith, 2011:380) This chapter explores the principles and practices that guide the collection, handling, and preservation of microbial forensic evidence
