Bacillus anthracis and Anthrax

Bacillus anthracis has played a major role in shaping our understanding of bacterial pathogenesis and innate immunity. Due to its potential use as a bioterror agent, it remains at the forefront of microbiology research. To combat this possible danger, scientists are interested in identifying and understanding the ways in which B. anthracis adapts its gene expression and basic physiology to the local env...
