Malignant pustule (Med.), a very contagious disease
produced by infection of subcutaneous tissues with the
bacterium Bacillus anthracis. It is transmitted to man
from animals and is characterized by the formation, at the
point of reception of the infection, of a vesicle or
pustule which first enlarges and then breaks down into an
unhealthy ulcer. It is marked by profound exhaustion and
often fatal. The disease in animals is called charbon;
in man it is called cutaneous anthrax, and formerly was
sometimes called simply anthrax.

2. (Biol.) A microscopic, bacterial organism ({Bacillus
anthracis}), resembling transparent rods. [See Illust.
under Bacillus.]
[1913 Webster]
3. An infectious disease of cattle and sheep. It is ascribed
to the presence of a rod-shaped gram-positive 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

1. (Min.) A beautiful gem of a deep red color (with a mixture
of scarlet) called by the Greeks anthrax; found in the
East Indies. When held up to the sun, it loses its deep

2. (Med.) A very painful acute local inflammation of the
subcutaneous tissue, esp. of the trunk or back of the
neck, characterized by brawny hardness of the affected
parts, sloughing of the skin and deeper tissues, and

core, and is frequently fatal. It is also called
anthrax.
[1913 Webster]
3. (Her.) A charge or bearing supposed to represent the
precious stone. It has eight scepters or staves radiating

earliest form under which an organism appears.
[1913 Webster]
In the entire process in which a new being
originates . . . two distinct classes of action
participate; namely, the act of generation by which
the germ is produced; and the act of development, by
which that germ is evolved into the complete
organism. --Carpenter.

as, the germ of civil liberty.
[1913 Webster]
3. (Biol.) The germ cells, collectively, as distinguished
from the somatic cells, or soma. Germ is often used in

4. A microorganism, especially a disease-causing bacterium or
virus; -- used informally, as, the don't eat food that

[PJC]
Disease germ (Biol.), a name applied to certain tiny
bacterial organisms or their spores, such as {Anthrax
bacillus} and the Micrococcus of fowl cholera, which
have been demonstrated to be the cause of certain
diseases; same as germ[4]. See Germ theory (below).
Germ cell (Biol.), the germ, egg, spore, or cell from which
the plant or animal arises. At one time a part of the body
of the parent, it finally becomes detached, and by a
process of multiplication and growth gives rise to a mass
of cells, which ultimately form a new individual like the
parent. See Ovum.
Germ gland. (Anat.) See Gonad.
Germ stock (Zool.), a special process on which buds are
developed in certain animals. See Doliolum.
Germ theory (Biol.), the theory that living organisms can
be produced only by the evolution or development of living
germs or seeds. See Biogenesis, and Abiogenesis. As
applied to the origin of disease, the theory claims that
the zymotic diseases are due to the rapid development and
multiplication of various bacteria, the germs or spores of
which are either contained in the organism itself, or
transferred through the air or water. See {Fermentation
theory}.
