Anthrax is caused by the bacterium Bacillus anthracis, which forms spores that can survive in harsh conditions for extended periods. The bacterium has three main components: a protective capsule, a set of toxins that can disrupt cellular functions, and a complex structure known as the anthrax toxin, which is composed of three proteins (protective antigen, lethal factor, and edema factor) that work together to affect host cells. Anthrax spores are the infectious form and can be found in soil and animal products.
