Although there has been a considerable amount of research conducted into Bacillus anthracis, the causative agent of anthrax, the data are widely disseminated in the scientific literature and are therefore not always easy to assimilate. In view of continuing concern about potential anthrax contamination in environmental materials and sites, this review brings together the currently available information relating to the health hazards from B. anthracis. The relevance of the available information for risk assessment purposes is assessed.
尽管针对炭疽病的病原体炭疽芽孢杆菌已经开展了大量研究,但相关数据在科学文献中广泛分布,因此并非总是易于梳理整合。鉴于对环境材料和场所中潜在炭疽污染的持续关注,本综述汇集了目前与炭疽芽孢杆菌所致健康危害相关的可用信息,并评估了这些可用信息对于风险评估目的的相关性。
