What is the chemical formula of anthrax?
Anthrax is really a bunch of spores of a microbe called bacillus anthracis. These spores are very resistent to drying out and harsh environmental conditions, making them survive for long times. Once these spores settle and grow into the bacterium, this bacterium releases an anthrax toxin that can cause life threatening pneumonia if the bacterium/spores were inhaled and settled in your lung.
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".
Why are people concerned about anthrax?
The bacteria that cause anthrax may be used as a type of biological warfare, since it is possible to become infected simply by inhaling the spores, and inhaled anthrax is the most serious form of the disease.
Is anthrax poisoning a disease?
Anthrax is a disease caused by the microorganism called Bacillus anthracis. This bacteria produces a poisonous toxin (thus anthrax poisoning is caused by a toxin produced by the bacteria during the course of infection). Disease: Anthrax Cause: B. anthracis
