Bacillus Anthracis | Properties, Pathology, Disease, Management Approach
Bacillus anthracis is a gram-positive, rod-shaped bacteria. It causes anthrax that can be deadly in many cases. It is found naturally in soil & competing to get access to nutrients, which it produces by breaking down other organisms. The disease spreads when the bacteria are inhaled, ingested, or by contact on a skin wound. Let’s review its properties, pathogenesis, toxins, disease types, and the management approach.
