To address this question, we compared the killing of germination-proficient (gp) and germination-deficient (Δ <jats:italic>gerH</jats:italic> ) Sterne 34F2 strain spores by murine peritoneal macrophages. While macrophages similarly ingested both spores, only gp Sterne was killed at 5 h (0.37 log kill). Pretreatment of macrophages with gamma interferon (IFN-γ) or opsonization with immunoglobulin G (IgG) isolated from a subject immunized with an anthrax vaccine enhanced the killing of Sterne to 0.49 and 0.73 log, respectively, but the combination of IFN-γ and IgG was no better than either treatment alone. Under no condition was there killing of Δ <jats:italic>gerH</jats:italic> spores. To examine the ability of the exosporium to protect spores from macrophages, we compared the macrophage-mediated killing of nonsonicated (exosporium <jats:sup>+</jats:sup> ) and sonicated (exosporium <jats:sup>−</jats:sup> ) Sterne 34F2 spores. More sonicated spores than nonsonicated spores were killed at 5 h (0.98 versus 0.37 log kill, respectively). Pretreatment with IFN-γ increased the sonicated spore killing to 1.39 log. However, the opsonization with IgG was no better than no treatment or pretreatment with IFN-γ. We conclude that macrophages appear unable to kill the spore form of <jats:italic>B. anthracis</jats:italic> and that the exosporium may play a role in the protection of spores from macrophages. </jats:p> Murine Macrophages Kill the Vegetative Form of <i>Bacillus anthracis</i> Infection and Immunity
