Bacillus anthracis

Bacillus anthracis is a Gram-positive, spore-forming bacterium. It is an etiologic agent of anthrax. Bacillus anthracis is especially dangerous infectious disease of farm and wild animals of all species, and, occasionally, of humans.

Diagnosis is based on clinical, epidemiological and laboratory data. Laboratory diagnosis includes bacterioscopic and bacteriological methods. However, for the purpose of early diagnosis, immunofluorescence and PCR methods are used for laboratory diagnosis.
