    This document summarizes Bacillus anthracis and Bacillus cereus, two gram-positive spore-forming bacilli that can cause disease. B. anthracis causes the three forms of anthrax - cutaneous (skin lesions), pulmonary (respiratory infection), and intestinal (gastrointestinal infection). It is contracted from animals and can be used as a biological weapon. B. cereus causes two types of food poisoning - diarrhoeal and emetic syndromes, through the ingestion of contaminated food. Both bacteria form spores that allow survival in harsh conditions and resistance to cooking.
