Is bacillus anthracis a good or bad bacteria and why?

Bacillus anthracis causes the disease anthrax. Anthrax is a life-threatening infectious disease that normally affects animals (such as goats, cattle, sheep, and horses). Anthrax can be transmitted to humans by contact with infected animals or their products. Anthrax does not spread from person to person. In the soil, where they live, anthrax organisms exist in a dormant form called spores. These spores are difficult to destroy. The spores have been known to survive for as long as 48 years. Ingestion of anthrax can cause serious, sometimes fatal disease.The most deadly form is inhalation anthrax. If the spores of anthrax are inhaled, they spread, and produce toxins that often cause death.The greatest threat of anthrax today is through a bio-terrorist attack which would be delivered as an aerosol.It is considered "bad".

The spores produced by Bacillus anthracis, the causative agent of anthrax, are highly resistant and can survive in harsh environmental conditions for long periods. They are usually oval-shaped, have a tough outer layer, and are capable of forming protective structures called endospores. These spores are the infectious form of the bacteria and are responsible for the spread of anthrax.
