anthrax research

Anthrax research involves studying the bacteria Bacillus anthracis, which causes the disease anthrax. Scientists explore how the bacteria infect hosts, how it spreads, and ways to detect, prevent, and treat infections. This research helps develop vaccines, improve diagnostic tools, and create effective antibiotics. It also examines how to defend against anthrax as a biological threat. Overall, the goal is to better understand the bacteria and enhance public health and safety through improved medical countermeasures.
