Contribution of lethal toxin and edema toxin to the pathogenesis of anthrax meningitis.

Infection and immunity - 1 Jul 2011

Ebrahimi Celia M, Sheen Tamsin R, Renken Christian W, Gottlieb Roberta A, Doran Kelly S

Abstract excerpt

Bacillus anthracis is a Gram-positive spore-forming bacterium that causes anthrax disease in humans and animals. Systemic infection is characterized by septicemia, toxemia, and meningitis, the main neurological complication associated with high mortality. We have shown previously that B. anthracis Sterne is capable of blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration, establishing the classic signs of meningitis, and that...
