Anthrax is an acute infectious disease caused by bacterium Bacillus anthracis.
Atlanta (CNN) — Some 75 Atlanta-based staff of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention may have been unintentionally exposed to anthrax, the agency said Thursday.
They are being monitored or provided antibiotics.
„Based on most of the potential exposure scenarios, the risk of infection is very low,“ the agency said in a statement.
