After a three-year effort, scientists have determined the crystal structure of edema factor, a toxic protein secreted by Bacillus anthracis, the bacteria that causes anthrax.1 Edema factor (EF) works ...

Bacillus anthracis can also be weaponized — even small amounts of microscopic anthrax spores in an aerosol release can cause a fatal lung infection. By the time the letter attacks were over, five ...

It's also offered to people who handle livestock, since the anthrax bacteria, Bacillus anthracis, can be found in infected ...

Researchers trying to unravel the mysteries of the dark period claim they have found Bacillus anthracis at a Japanese World ...

New work published in Nature indicates that Bacillus anthracis, the causative agent of anthrax, targets dendritic cells (DCs) and the adaptive immune response as an immune-evasion strategy.

CDC scientists were studying the bacteria in a high-level biosecurity lab and then transferred the samples to three lower-security labs without first properly inactivating the live microbes. Workers ...

To mount an effective government response to anthrax outbreaks in Indonesia's Yogyakarta Special Region, policymakers must understand local cultural practices and economic concerns as central to ...

mechanism of DNA replication in pathogenic bacteria primarily E.coli and Bacillus anthracis. His laboratory is also collaborating with Dr. Esther Biswas-Fiss to investigate pathogenesis of inherited ...

Although ABW agents will not replace threats posed by traditional biological agents such as Bacillus anthracis (anthrax) and Variola (smallpox), they will necessitate novel approaches to ...
