The pathogen causing this disease has a polypeptide, rather than polysaccharide, capsule made of glutamic acid. That pathogen secretes a cell-binding protein called the protective antigen, an adenylate cyclase called the edema factor, and a matrix metalloproteinase called the lethal factor. Jean Joseph Toussaint made a vaccine against this disease with potassium dichromate. The (*) Ames strain causes this disease. It comes in pulmonary, gastrointestinal, and cutaneous types.
