B. anthracis spores are highly infective and can cause inhalation, cutaneous, or gastrointestinal anthrax. Inhalation anthrax results from breathing in spores and is of great concern due to its high fatality rate.
Because inhalational anthrax is an occupational disease of a few specific at-risk occupations, it is likely that the number of recorded cases is . Anthrax is an acute infectious disease caused by the bacteria Bacillus anthracis (BA).
