Effect of the lower molecular capsule released from the cell surface of Bacillus anthracis on the pathogenesis of anthrax.

The Journal of infectious diseases - 15 Jul 2002

Abstract excerpt

Bacillus anthracis enters the body as an endospore, and encapsulation and toxin production occur after germination. Capsule is proposed to be an antiphagocytic factor, and toxin induces cytokine production for systemic shock. The dep gene, adjacent to the cap region for the encapsulation, degrade...
