Summary
The possibility of using biological means has become a reality. The possibility of using them and the target that can be directly or indirectly targeted, including a terrorist attack, determines that defense and protection against them must primarily be a matter for those components in the state whose job is similar peace issues and military specially prepared bodies. A biological attack is the deliberate use of living microorganisms or their toxic products (toxins) to cause disease and death in humans, animals and plants. In the current development of bacteriology, the possibility of using a biological weapon in a somewhat different dimension, on a scientific basis at a given time and level of knowledge [1], is being considered.In 1915, German agent Gregersen brought a plague culture to Archangel, via the US, in order to provoke a plague in St. Petersburg. In 1916, a shipment addressed to the local German embassy was captured in Romania, containing ampoules of anthrax and glanders. They were accompanied by a written instruction clearly demonstrating that these cultures should be used to diversify and spread these diseases among animals. The investigation of this incident was carried out by the famous Romanian microbiologist Babes
