pubmed:abstractText
The pathogenesis of anthrax is such that unless antibiotic treatment is initiated at an early stage in the disease, it is ineffective against the bacteria-induced toxaemia that subverts the immune response, inflicts massive tissue damage and is ultimately the major factor contributing to death during anthrax infection. As current events have demonstrated the feasibility of the use of anthrax as a bioterrorism agent, and exemplified the difficulty of treating the ensuing infection, inhibition of anthrax toxin has become a major focus of research for the design of antitoxin therapeutics. In this issue of Biochemical Journal, Bracci and co-workers describe the discovery by competitive screening of a phage-display library of a peptide inhibitor of anthrax toxin assembly that shows great promise towards the treatment of anthrax.
