This invention relates to methods for quick and safe identification of pathogens from biological samples. Iodinated resins may be employed to destroy a pathogen while leaving the pathogen's DNA in a state that can be analyzed. The DNA can then serve as a substrate for PCR analysis. The use of these iodinated resins work in a significantly quicker manner than prior art methods and allows scientists to spend a minimal time under Biosafety Level Three (BSL-3) conditions.
