Forgive me if this topic has already been discussed 'ad nauseum' when I was
logged off histonet last week, but I was wondering if there are specific
histologic stains to detect the anthrax bacillus in tissues? The pictures
they show on TV look like gram stains, but I'm sure those may be smears. Are
the Gram modifications done in histo the most effective ones at
demonstrating it in tissue? Or is this an organism that isn't readily
demonstrated in tissue? Any discussion, OR direction to the archives to look
at previous discussions, would be appreciated.

Thanks,
