What type of anthrax raises cell count?
Inhalation anthrax, also known as pulmonary anthrax, is the type of anthrax that can cause a significant increase in the white blood cell count, specifically affecting the number of neutrophils. This increase in cell count is part of the body's immune response to the anthrax infection.
Does anthrax affect DNA or RNA?
Anthrax primarily affects the body by producing toxins that interfere with cellular functions, rather than directly targeting DNA or RNA. The toxins produced by the anthrax bacteria disrupt cell signaling pathways and lead to cell death.
What type of pathogen causes anthrax and diphtheria?
Bacteria cause both anthrax and diphtheria.
What type of virus is Anthrax?
Anthrax is not a virus, but a bacterium known as Bacillus anthracis. Bacillus species are gram positive bacilli.
What is anthrax gram stain?
The Gram stain for anthrax shows large, Gram-positive bacilli that appear as long chains of cells. Anthrax bacteria stain blue or purple because of their thick peptidoglycan cell wall, which retains the crystal violet dye used in the Gram staining procedure.

Which is biggest white blood cell influenza virus or anthrax bacterium?
A white blood cell is the biggest then the anthrax bacterium then the influenza virus.Hope it helps! :)

What type of biological agent is anthrax?
Bacterium
What is the most common type of anthrax?
Anthrax is an acute disease caused by Bacillius anthracis. The progression of the disease depends on how the host becomes infected, if the bacteria are inhaled it is lung infection, if they are introduced to the blood it is pulmonary, and if they are eaten it is gastrointestinal.
What type of pathogen causes anthrax and diphtheria?
Bacteria cause both anthrax and diphtheria.
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.
What type of anthrax is responsible for the patients symptoms?

What does anthrax do in your body?
Releases toxins into cells that destroy important proteins in order for that cell to survive.
What type of virus is Anthrax?
Anthrax is not a virus, but a bacterium known as Bacillus anthracis. Bacillus species are gram positive bacilli.

Is anthrax a solid liquid or gas?
Anthrax is neither a solid, liquid or a gas because it is a disease and not a substance. I think your question may be asking about the substance that causes anthrax, which is the bacteria Bacillus anthracis. Like just about any bacteria, this is not a pure substance but a complicated entity composed of both solids (like the cell walls) and liquids (like the cytoplasm, a fluid contained in the cell).
