Bioterrorism
  1. Top Biological Agents
    1. warning signs
      1. Unusual diseases not typically seen in the area
        1. Unusual numbers of cases of a disease
        2. Anthrax Disease
          1. Bacillus anthracis
            1. gram-positive, non-motile spore-forming bacterium
              1. can withstand extreme heat, cold and drought for long periods
              2. Types
                1. Cutaneous anthrax
                  1. skin contact
                    1. 20% mortality rate
                    2. Gastrointestinal anthrax
                      1. eating infected meat
                        1. vegetative state and not the spores
                          1. 80-90% mortality rate
                          2. Inhalational anthrax
                            1. breathing spores
                              1. ~90% mortality rate
                                1. Death may follow in hours to days
                                2. spores are transported into the mediastinal lymph nodes
                                  1. toxins leading to sudden development of fever, hemorrhage, respiratory distress and shock
                                    1. Pathophysiology
                                      1. anthrax spores [8-10 thousand] into alveolar space
                                        1. 1 to 5 micron size spores ingested by macrophages
                                          1. mediastinal LN’s
                                            1. germination of spores to B anthracis within 1-3 days
                                        2. toxins
                                          1. protective antigen, lethal factor, edema factor
                                            1. Protective antigen + Lethal factor= Lethal toxin
                                              1. hemorrhagic mediastinitis and edema

                                          1. Smaller quantity needed
                                            1. Antibiotics are not effective against spores or toxins
