Edema Toxin Impairs Anthracidal Phospholipase A2 Expression by Alveolar Macrophages
Bacillus anthracis, the etiological agent of anthrax, is a spore-forming Gram-positive bacterium. Infection with this pathogen results in multisystem dysfunction and death. The pathogenicity of B. anthracis is due to the production of virulence factors, including edema toxin (ET). Recently, we estab...
