Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Does a DNA microarray facilitate the diagnosis of Bacillus anthracis in environmental samples?
Answer: This array clearly differentiates B. anthracis from members of the B. cereus group and other Bacillus species in environmental samples by chromosomal (rpoB) and plasmid markers. Additionally, recognition of B. cereus strains harbouring the toxin genes or atypical B. anthracis strains that have lost the virulence plasmids is feasible.
Output (English): yes
