If an infection occurs and bacteria enters your body the white blood cells will produce antibodies to cover them and clump them together, then more white blood cells will engulf them and digest them.

Platelets in the blood will also seal the wound that has been made to prevent any further dirt and bacteria from entering the body.Once you have had a disease the antibodies are produced much quicker the next time you catch the same infection and your body also has some immunity to it.hello people of earth

What is the name of the blood cell that destroys germs in the body?
A type of cell that can destroy bacteria is called a 'Phagocyte' It contains lysosomes (Organelles containing digestive enzymes) The Phagocyte moves towards the bacteria and 'traps' the bacteria by forming a vacuole around it. Some lysosomes move towards and fuse with the vacuole. The bacteria is then digested by the enzymes contained by the lysosomes. The Breakdown products then pass into the cytoplasm of the phagocyte.
