Investigation of the Biological and Physicochemical Properties of Bacillus anthracis Spores during Germination, Virulence, and Killing
Bacillus anthracis has been classified as one of the most dangerous bioterrorism agents causing high mortality rates in short periods of time. Anthrax spores are extremely resistant to chemical and environmental factors, and have the ability to return into a vegetative (virulent) state during the pr...
