"Otherwise, presentation is good, and the running heads that allow navigation within chapters are helpful." (Society for General Microbiology, 25 May 2011)

Bacillus anthracis spore, the genome, iron acquisition by the bacteria, anthrax toxins, interactions with macrophages, dissemination through hosts, vaccines, and anthrax as a weapon of war and terrorism." (Reference and Research Book News, February 2011)

The premier reference on B. anthracis and anthrax for scientists and health professionals

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 environment, particularly during infection. Bacillus anthracis and Anthrax provides a comprehensive guide to all aspects of the organism, ranging from basic biology to public health issues associated with anthrax.

B. anthracis and its impact on humans throughout historyBasic biology of B. anthracis, including life cycle, differentiation, and cellular structureB. anthracis genomics, including phylogeny and evolutionB. anthracis pathogenesis, including toxins, capsule, and other virulence factorsInteraction of B. anthracis with the immune systemAnthrax, including clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment of the different forms of human anthrax, as well as a review of animal models of anthrax and their use in researchEpidemiology of anthrax in both animals and humans, and the ecology of B. anthracis within the environmentPrevention of anthrax—vaccines, anti-toxin therapies, and other strategiesB. anthracis as a bioterror agent—history, current threat, and countermeasures

Bacillus anthracis and Anthrax is geared toward microbiologists, medical professionals, public health professionals, bioinformaticists, immunologists, physiologists, and bioterror research and preparedness. Its appeal also extends beyond the basic science community into medicine, public health, and public policy. MORE EBOOKS:
