Abstract

It has been established that all anthrax bacteria in an infected organism have the same morphology and fine structure typical for Bacillus anthracis cells. Anthrax bacteria under conditions of a macroorganism form a capsule and slime. A massive bacterial capsule 0.1–0.4 μm thick is characteristic for bacteria of highly virulent and virulent B. anthracis strains. Microbes of avirulent, weakly virulent, and many virulent strains of the anthrax pathogen form a capsule 0.05–0.75 μm thick.
