~ 60 species; Gram-positive or Gram-variable bacilliLarge (0.5 x 1.2 to 2.5 x 10 um)Most are saprophytic contaminants or normal floraBacillus anthracis is most important member
Produce endospores Aerobic or facultatively anaerobic Catalase positive (most)
Rapidly differentiates from Clostridium Bacillus spp. are ubiquitousSoil, water, and airborne dustThermophilic (< 75°C) and psychrophilic (>5-8°C)Can flourish at extremes of acidity & alkalinity (pH 2 to 10)

On blood agarLarge, spreading, gray-white colonies, with irregular marginsMany are beta-hemolytic (helpful in differentiating various
Bacillus species from B. anthracis) Spores seen after several days of incubation, but not typically in fresh clinical specimens

Epidemiology of Bacillus anthracis Rare in the US (1974-1990, 17 cases reported by CDC) Enzootic in certain foreign countries (e.g., Turkey, Iran,
Pakistan,and Sudan) Anthrax spores infectious for decades
Biologic warfare experiments (annual tests for 20 years) Gruinard, off western coast of Scotland 4 x 10e14 fully virulent spores exploded Eliminated in 1987 (formaldehyde & seawater)
Three well-defined cycles Survival of spores in the soil Animal infection Infection in humans

Epidemiology of Bacillus anthracis (cont.)
Primarily a disease of herbivorous animals Most commonly transmitted to humans by direct
contact with animal products (e.g., wool and hair) Also acquired via inhalation & ingestion
Increased mortality with these portals of entry Still poses a threat
Importing materials contaminated with spores from these countries (e.g., bones, hides, and other materials)
Usually encountered as an occupational diseaseVeterinarians, agricultural workers

Clinical Presentation of Anthrax Cutaneous Anthrax
95% human cases are cutaneous infections 1 to 5 days after contact Small, pruritic, non-painful papule at inoculation site Papule develops into hemorrhagic vesicle & ruptures Slow-healing painless ulcer covered with black eschar
surrounded by edema Infection may spread to lymphatics w/ local adenopathy Septicemia may develop 20% mortality in untreated cutaneous anthrax

Clinical Presentation of Anthrax Inhalation Anthrax
Virtually 100% fatal (pneumonic) Meningitis may complicate cutaneous and inhalation
forms of disease Pharyngeal anthrax
FeverPharyngitisNneck swelling

Clinical Presentation of Anthrax Gastrointestinal (Ingestion) Anthrax
Virtually 100% fatal Abdominal pain Hemorrhagic ascites Paracentesis fluid may reveal gram-positive rods

Treatment & Prophylaxis Treatment
• Penicillin is drug of choice• Erythromycin, chloramphenicol acceptable alternatives• Doxycycline now commonly recognized as prophylactic
Vaccine (controversial)Laboratory workersEmployees of mills handling goat hairActive duty military membersPotentially entire populace of U.S. for herd immunity
