Bacillus anthracis is the etiologic agent of the disease inhalational anthrax, an acute systemic infection initiated by inhaling spores, which if not rapidly detected and treated, results in death. Decades of research have elucidated novel aspects of anthrax pathogenesis but there are many issues left unresolved.
炭疽芽孢杆菌是吸入性炭疽病的病原体，这是一种由吸入孢子引发的急性全身感染，如果不能迅速发现和治疗，就会导致死亡。几十年来的研究已经阐明了炭疽病发病机制的新方面，但仍有许多问题尚未解决。
