Cutaneous (on the skin): Usually, an infection forms within 2 to 5 days of exposure to the infectious agent. An itchy, raised bump occurs, much like an insect bite that rapidly changes into what is known medically as an “ulcer” – a skin lesion, about 1-3 cm in diameter. The ulce...

Considering that during the natural internalization process, the enzymatic components interact with the membrane receptor-bound PA63 prepores, not the channels, the physiological importance of the observed effect remains to be determined. 3.7. PA63 as a tumor-targeting agent Bacterial exotoxins are ...
"The CDC has unique resources like this collection of anthrax strains, and we hope to continue this collaboration to further understand what is going on with this and other pathogens," he said. "There are a lot of applications to public health and to improving our understanding of the basic...
