Scientists believe they have discovered a novel way in treating
people suffering from anthrax poisoning, which could overcome the
problem of antibiotic resistance that is becoming increasingly
common in southern and Eastern Europe...
US scientists think that enough anthrax vaccine can be produced
cheaply and effectively from tobacco plants, inoculating not only
the whole of the US but answer the worldwide need for a safe and
effective vaccine for this killer toxin.
Laboratory researchers believe that a recent discovery will prove
highly effective in stopping the progress of anthrax infection,
further developing reliable treatments to diagnose this killer
microorganism.
The discovery of the three-dimensional structure of the anthrax
toxin as it binds to and enters human cells could lead to both a
treatment for the disease and a way to harness its effects in
cancer therapy, according to a report in...
