Neutrophils and macrophages are capable of ingesting bacteria?
Neutrophils and macrophages attack and destroy bacteria. Neutrophils are mature cells that can ingest bacteria. Macrophages enter tissues and swell ingesting bacteria that is in the tissues and blood stream.
What is the main bacteria killer during infections?

Neutrophils and Macrophages
What is the main bacteria killer during acute infections?
neutrophils
Type of leukocytes that perform phagocytize bacteria?
Neutrophils
What does neutrophil levels indicate?
neutrophils love bacteria, levels will go up if backteris is present in the body, neutrophils will engulf the bateria.
Do neutrophils use hydroxyl radical to kill bacteria?
Yes, neutrophils can produce hydroxyl radicals as part of their antimicrobial mechanisms to kill bacteria. Hydroxyl radicals are highly reactive molecules that can damage bacterial cell membranes and DNA, contributing to the neutrophils' antibacterial activity.
Which cells surround and destroy bacteria?
White blood cells, specifically neutrophils and macrophages, are responsible for surrounding and destroying bacteria in the body. Neutrophils can engulf bacteria through a process called phagocytosis, while macrophages can also secrete toxic chemicals to kill bacteria.
Which white blood cell is important in removing foreign bacteria?

What is a white blood cell that fights bacteria and stains neutral?
Neutrophils are white blood cells that specialize in fighting bacterial infections. They are called neutral because their granules do not stain strongly with acidic or basic dyes.
