Bacteria that attack and digest dead tissue are called prime decomposers or decomposing bacteria. As digesting as it sounds, decomposing bacteria are a healthy and much needed part of the food web.

Dead bacteria and cells in the tissue form?

Dead bacteria and cells in the tissue form pus, which is a collection of white blood cells, dead tissue, and bacteria. The body's immune system responds to this as a sign of infection and works to eliminate it. Pus may need to be drained to facilitate healing.


What do dead bacteria and cells form in the tissue?

Dead bacteria and cells in tissue contribute to the formation of necrotic tissue or pus, depending on the context. Necrotic tissue results from cell death due to injury or infection, leading to inflammation and tissue breakdown. Pus, on the other hand, is a thick fluid that accumulates during an immune response, containing dead bacteria, dead cells, and immune cells. Both indicate an ongoing inflammatory process in the body.

What are exoenzymes from pathogens?

Exoenzymes are digestive enzymes that are secreted by the pathogen into the surrounding tissues, allowing the pathogen to further invade the host's tissues. For example, Streptococcus pyogenes secretes streptokinase to dissolve blood clots, allowing wound invasion, and streptolysin, which digests red blood cells and other body cells. Clostridium perfringens, an agent of gangrene, secretes a lipase that damages cell membranes, creating more dead tissue for these bacteria to invade.
