Health | Anthrax is an acute infectious disease caused by the spore-forming bacterium Bacillus anthracis. (references) | |
Bacillus anthracis, the etiologic agent of anthrax, is a large, gram-positive, nonmotile, spore-forming bacterial rod. The three virulence factors of B. anthracis are edema toxin, lethal toxin and a capsular antigen. (references) | ||
