The CDC's anthrax report does not name any of the responsible individuals.
1
The recent bioterrorist attacks have stressed the need of a better knowledge of Bacillus anthracis infection pathophysiology.

1
Bacillus anthracis is a spore-forming, Gram-positive pathogen and the causative agent of anthrax disease.
2
Infection with Bacillus anthracsis spores induces an acute anthrax disease that can cause casualties and death in untreated cases.
3
Subcutaneous delivery of Sap inhibitory nanobodies cleared B. anthracis infection and prevented lethality in a mouse model of anthrax disease.
