Pathogens can destroy tissue through various mechanisms, including the release of toxins that directly damage cells, triggering inflammatory responses that lead to tissue injury, and inducing apoptosis (programmed cell death) in host cells. Some pathogens may also invade cells and replicate within them, causing cellular lysis and tissue necrosis. Additionally, immune responses aimed at eliminating the pathogens can inadvertently contribute to further tissue damage.
The medical term for having the ability to enter and destroy surrounding tissue is invasive. This term is commonly used to describe how certain diseases or pathogens can spread and damage nearby tissues in the body.
what is the process by which phagocytes destroy a pathoger
The purpose of inflammation are:to reduce the spread of pathogens, to destroy them and to prevent the entry of additional pathogensto remove damaged tissue and cell debrisand to begin the repair of the damaged tissue. hope this helps=)
The immune system needs to destroy the pathogens. Other wise the pathogens will multiply in the body of host. The pathogens will multiply by geometrical proportion. With in very short time the pathogens will occupy the whole body. You can no longer survive in that case.

PhagocytosisPhagocytes make up three-quarters of the body's white blood cells. They destroy pathogens by engulfing them.It's called phagocytosis. Macrophages mainly phagocytose the pathogens.
The final step of phagocyte mobilization is the migration of phagocytes to the site of infection or inflammation through chemotaxis. Chemotaxis is a process by which phagocytes move towards a concentration gradient of chemical signals released by pathogens or damaged tissue. Once phagocytes reach the site, they can engulf and destroy the invading pathogens.

organisms that engulf and destroy pathogens
T cells destroy pathogens.
Proper sanitation controls and reduces pathogens. It doesn't necessarily destroy them.
Antibodies cause pathogens to clump together, a process known as agglutination. This occurs when antibodies bind to specific antigens on the surface of pathogens, forming complexes that enhance the visibility of the pathogens to immune cells. The clumping facilitates the elimination of these pathogens by phagocytes, which can more easily engulf and destroy them.
