''Bacillus anthracis'' is a species of ''[[Bacillus]]'' bacteria. ''B.anthracis'' is a saprophyte in soil. Its endospore formation allows persistence and spread as they survive decades in the soil. Infection usually occurs by ingestion of spores and penetration through damaged mucosa. Outbreaks occur in herbivore's grazing pastures contaminated by spores from buried carcases.
