Mechanism of neutrophil anthrax killing. (A) CFU/ml of B. anthracis strains recovered at time 0 and 15 min after neutrophil infection. (B) Neutrophils were pretreated with the indicated compound for 30 min, then infected with wild type B. anthracis Sterne and the percentage of bacterial survival enumerated. Percentage bacterial survival is calculated by dividing the CFU/ml of bacteria recovered in the presence of neutrophils over the CFU/ml of bacteria recovered in the absence of neutrophils. ^**P < 0.01 and ^***P < 0.001. All data shown are from a combination of at least three independent experiments.
