Complement is a collection of proteins found in the blood that are effective against a wide variety of bacteria. Complement can cause bacterial lysis when the C5-C9 proteins are activated by C3. The C9 proteins insert into the bacterial cell membrane causing lysis and destruction of the bacteria.

Which agents can cause injury to the bacterial plasma membrane?

There are several types of antibiotics that cause damage to the plasma membrane of bacterial cells. These antibiotics injure the the plasma membrane and cause it to die (lysis of the cell). After the membrane has been damaged or destroyed, the bacteria's contents/nurtients escape and the poisons of the antibiotic are allowed to enter the cell and kill it. Antibiotics have selective toxicity so that they can target specific microbes without damaging the person taking the drug.
