Anthrax bacteria are gram-positive, a filamentous, spore-forming bacterium, is the etiological agent of anthrax. Anthrax spreads in a variety of ways, making our ability to quickly and accurately detect the agent critical. These bacteria can cause illnesses that can lead to death if left untreated. Anthrax is critical to public health and the fight against bioterrorism and has been used as a biological weapon. The goal is to understand how anthrax bacteria, which have been used as a weapon to terrorize populations, can cause other diseases that are camouflaged when transmitted to humans.
