Anthrax Toxins in Context of Bacillus anthracis Spores and Spore Germination

The interaction of anthrax toxin or toxin components with B. anthracis spores has been demonstrated. Germinating spores can produce significant amounts of toxin components very soon after the initiation of germination. In this review, we will summarize the work performed that has led to our understa...
