Anthrax antibiotics research

Anthrax antibiotics research. Antibiotic drugs (discs) being tested on anthrax bacteria (Bacillus anthracis) colonies being cultured on an agar growth medium in a petri dish. The exclusion zone around each disc demonstrates the effectiveness of that antibiotic. Anthrax bacteria infect humans in two ways. The skin infection is usually treatable with antibiotics. Inhalation of anthrax spores and the development of pulmonary (lung) anthrax is often fatal unless antibiotics can be administered before the symptoms appear. There is concern that anthrax bacteria could be used in an act of bioterrorism. Grown on Mueller-Hinton agar, a nutrient agar suited for antibiotic tests
