The second striker position is a loosely defined and most often misapplied description of a player positioned somewhere between the out-and-out striker, whether he is a target-man or more of a poacher, and the Number 10 attacking midfielder, while possibly showing some of the characteristics of both.
Inhalation of spores leads to pulmonary anthrax, which is usually fatal. B anthracis, including the strains isolated from the recent cases in the US, is sensitive in vitro to a range of antimicrobials, including penicillin, amoxicillin, doxycycline, tetracycline, clarithromycin, clindamycin, and ciprofloxacin.
Summary. Bacillus anthracis possesses three primary virulence factors: capsule, lethal toxin (LT), and edema toxin (ET). Dendritic cells (DCs) are critical to innate and acquired immunity and represent potential targets for these factors. We examined the ability of B. anthracis spores and bacilli to stimulate human monocyte-derived DC (MDDC), primary myeloid DC (mDC), and plasmacytoid DC (pDC) cytokine secretion.
