Anthrax toxin

This summary and review of Botox Nation (Dana Berkowitz 2017) is a deep look into the development of the Botox phenomenon that is in our world today. Botox is a trend that is on the climb and is different from any other ‘anti-aging’ prevention or cure on the market. And somehow along the line Botox was given the okay to be passed off as a medical procedure with curative and preventative powers. (Berkowitz, 2017, p. 5) The author Dana Berkowitz uses Botox as an avenue to view how the norms of…

also to prevent them. If you're thinking about purchasing Botox injections and live in New York, keep reading for a broad overview of the Botox process and procedure. How does Botox work? Essentially, Botox is a poison, also known as Botulinum Toxin Type A. If the name sounds familiar, it's because it's the same compound that can lead to Botulism. That poison, when delivered by a qualified doctor, is a perfectly safe and a certified anti-wrinkle drug. Botox works its magic by freezing the…

Bacillus anthracis is the causative organism of the serious infectious disease, called anthrax. There are three manifestations of this disease. The manifestations include gastrointestinal anthrax, inhalation anthrax, and cutaneous anthrax. This research will explore the morphology, virulence factors, reservoir, transmission, and portal of entry of B. anthracis. The pathogenesis will also be reviewed, including symptoms, how B. anthracis causes these symptoms, the possible complications of the…

the use of biological weapons as a way to gain political power, this type of warfare has been used throughout history in a variety of ways. Like how the movie uses the St. Mary’s Virus, biological warfare also involves the use of deadly agents like anthrax, smallpox and botulinum for offensive purposes. Even though V for Vendetta is based on a fictional tale, the movie is able to draw comparisons on how deadly agents have been used in biological warfare…

Anthrax is a disease caused by the microorganism Bacillus anthracis. This primary pathogen is a zoonotic, aerobic, spore-producing bacillus which is gram positive when tested under a microscope1-4. It is particularly dangerous because of its hardy spores which can survive despite exposure to higher temperatures, light, and multiple disinfectants3. Once the bacteria are picked up by grazing herbivores, the spores begin to germinate and become virulent. As the bacteria continue to develop in the…

agents are viewed as infectious (replicating) and classified in four categories: (1) natural poisons, or toxins, that occur without human modification, (2) viruses, (3) bacteria, and (4) plagues (White, 2012). Biological weapons kill by spreading a disease that is normally fatal or tricks…

Did you know about fifty-one percent of people die of anthrax a year? Anthrax is a serious infectious illness caused by a microbe called Bacillus anthracis that lives in soil. The good thing about anthrax that it is hard to get in the United States. Anthrax history has been widely more common in 2001. It was first discovered from ancient origins in 1250 BC. Anthrax is known as one of the worst biological attacks in the country. So far anthrax has attacked resulted in five deaths and 17 illness…

plague brought a great sickness across the city, killing many of it’s people. This was Anthrax. Anthrax is a bacterium that causes lesions and a painful death if not treated. This bacterium has been weaponized and could possibly be used to kill millions. Today you will hear from me about the dangers and history of anthrax. You may have heard of the recent scare of Donald Trump Jr. receiving what could’ve been anthrax. My goal is to help you understand why officials were so rattled by this event.…

building’s air conditioning system and observed as billions of microbes spread all through the Pentagon. Secret testing proceeded through the next year as Navy warships sprayed cities of Norfolk, Hampton, and Newport News with an allegedly harmless anthrax stimulant. Ships released a three-mile long cloud of Serratia marcescens bacteria while sailing off San Francisco. Researchers assessed that nearly all of San Francisco’s 800,000 residents inhaled them. (11) The intentional release of…

aseptically attain a sample vesicular fluid on a sterile swab. The nurse also collected samples from the dark, black ulcer; she inserted a sterile swab in which she rotated for three seconds under the ulcer without completely removing it (Confirming Anthrax through the Laboratory Response Network). The nurse transported the sample to the laboratory at room temperature; about 70°F. Microbiologist in the laboratory performed series of test to identify the disease Molly has. One of which was gram…
