abstract="USED FOR WARFARE: Bioterrorism is a perfectly foreseeable eventuality. It is defined by the international use, or menace of use, of living organisms whatever their nature, or of substances derived from these organisms, aimed at provoking a disease or the death of human beings, animals or plants. UPDATED COUNTERACTING STRATEGIES: More than 180 infectious agents could be used for terrorist ends. The recent events in the dawn of this twenty-first century have reactivated and notably updated the strategies to counteract such an event. Clinical and therapeutic guidelines have been circulated in many countries. INFECTIONS THAT REQUIRE RECOGNITION: The role of practitioners in the rapid recognition of bioterrorism-related infections is crucial. Hence, updated knowledge on these potentially emerging or reemerging infections is required.<p /><p>Language: fr</p>",
