What's the difference between anthracic and anthrax?
Anthracic
Definition:
(a.) Of or relating to anthrax; as, anthracic blood.
Example Sentences:

(6) Transformation of rat embryo fibroblasts in vitro has been investigated using initiation with either benzo(a)pyrene (BaP), 7,12-dimethylbena(a)anthracent (DMBA) or benzo(e)pyrene (BeP) and promotion with either phorbol ester (TPA) or croton oil (Cr.Oil).
(7) Comparative efficacy of the use of injection and oral dosage forms of rifampicin in the subtherapeutic doses in combination with peptidoglycan , an immunomodulator of microbial origin, was studied in respect to experimental anthracic infection with application of multifactorial analysis.
(8) Two promutagens, 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracence (DMBA) and 2-amino-fluorene (AF) were tested at 5 concentrations with the tester strains TA98 and TA100, against 2 levels of S9 fraction.
(9) Allergic tumour-like lymphadenitis developed after administration of anti-anthracic serum; an anticonvulsive syndrome developed after hydantoinate administration.
(10) The pathomorphological picture of experimental B. anthracis infection in white rats (strain Fisher-344) essentially corresponds to experimental anthracic intoxication with very moderately pronounced morphological manifestation of B. anthracis invasion.
(11) This indicates that specific anthracic intoxication is an essential component of the pathological process in B. anthracis infection.
(12) The advantage of the experiment mathematical design in investigation and estimation of protective properties of antimicrobial drugs was shown on a model of doxycycline chemotherapy of experimental anthracic infection caused by the vaccinal strain of the causative agent in albino mice.
Anthrax
Definition:
(n.) A carbuncle.
(n.) A malignant pustule.
(n.) A microscopic, bacterial organism (Bacillus anthracis), resembling transparent rods. [See Illust. under Bacillus.]
(n.) An infectious disease of cattle and sheep. It is ascribed to the presence of a rod-shaped bacterium (Bacillus anthracis), the spores of which constitute the contagious matter. It may be transmitted to man by inoculation. The spleen becomes greatly enlarged and filled with bacteria. Called also splenic fever.
Example Sentences:
(1) The production of protective antigen (PA), the common component of the two anthrax toxins, is influenced by the environment.
(2) Rabbits and sheep immunized with protective anthrax preparation and live anthrax vaccines were examined.
(3) For the detection of anthrax bacillus, sterile swabs should be soaked in the fluid of the vesicles.
(4) Other important bacterial infections of potential concern are tuberculosis, Johne's disease, anthrax, malignant edema, actinomycosis, tetanus, and the South American condition referred to as alpaca fever, which, to date, has not been observed in North America.
(5) The authors present the results of study of the blood neutrophil injury in guinea pigs, rabbits, monkeys, and also humans inoculated subcutaneously with live anthrax vaccine.
(6) Two patients contracted cutaneous anthrax after contact with infected bone meal.
(7) In an anthrax scare, talcum powder is removed from the chemist's shelves.
(8) Previous studies have shown that symmetric tetraalkylammonium ions affect, in a voltage-dependent manner, the conductance of membranes containing many channels formed by the PA65 fragment of anthrax toxin.
(9) The twenty cases of internal anthrax comprised intestinal, septicemic, peritonitis, meningeal and pulmonary forms.
(10) A procedure has been developed for purification of the tripartite anthrax-toxin components.
(11) Thus, the enhancement of chemotaxis by anthrax toxin (at least by LF + PA) does not seem to be related to adenylate cyclase activity.
(12) The use of dry seeding material for making dry anthrax vaccine rendered the preparations obtained more standard, reduced the time required for their production, led to increase of AKM-SH productivity, and to greater profitability of the vaccine production.
(13) Evidence that furin may require a P4 Arg in fluorogenic peptide substrates suggested that this enzyme might cleave the protective antigen (PA) component of anthrax toxin at the sequence -Arg-Lys-Lys-Arg-.
(14) Anthrax lethal toxin consists of two separate proteins, protective antigen and lethal factor (LF).
(15) The radiological changes in two cases of inhalation anthrax are correlated with pathological findings.
(16) The first bacteriologically confirmed case of oropharyngeal anthrax is described.
(17) The potential for flies to mechanically transmit anthrax suggests that fly control should be considered as part of a program for control of epizootic anthrax.
(18) Three fractions of the anthrax protective antigen obtained possessed weaker immunobiological properties than the whole preparation of this antigen.
(19) The genetic analysis indicates that resistance to anthrax is probably controlled by a dominant gene, not linked with histocompatibility complex H-2 and, probably, unrelated to the presence of hemolytic activity in mouse sera, determined by component C5 of the complement.
(20) Chemotherapeutic efficacy of combined therapy of experimental anthrax infection with subtherapeutic doses of doxycycline and a low molecular weight immunomodulator of microbial origin was studied with mathematical design of the experiment and multifactorial analysis.
