CDC Bioterrorism Agents List

The CDC Bioterrorism Agents List is a compilation of microorganisms and toxins that could potentially be used in bioterrorism attacks. These agents are categorized into three tiers based on their risk to public health and safety. Tier 1 agents, such as Anthrax and Smallpox, pose the highest threat and require strict regulation and monitoring. The list helps government agencies, healthcare providers, and emergency responders prepare for and respond to potential bioterrorism scenarios, ensuring public safety by addressing the risks posed by these dangerous agents.
