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.


What does the bacterial enzyme leukocidin do?

This enzyme is produced by some bacteria to kill leukocytes mainly neutrophils. The name leukocidin tells you what it does. Leuko = white + cidin = kill.


Does superoxide help neutrophils to kill bacteria?

yes, a neutrophil will produce an oxidative burst to destroy bacteria faster than by phagocytosis. An oxidative burst may contain superoxide anion, hypochlorite anion, or hydrogen peroxide.


What leukocyte is the main bacteria slayer in the body?

B cells_____B cells do not "slay" bacteria. B cells produce antibodies that assist the body in dealing with foreign antigens (such as bacteria), but do not directly kill any bacteria.Neutrophils would likely be considered the primary defense against invading bacteria, followed by macrophages. These two cells types would be considered the primary "bacteria slayers" in the body.

White blood cells that attact and destory bacteria are called?

Leukocytes that attack foreign molecules (including bacteria) include Eosinophils, basophils, neutrophils, and monocytes. These cells participate in "non-specific" immune responses, meaning they aim for any and all foreign materials, not just one specific one. If those non-specific cells don't succeed, the lymphocytes, which target specific microbial cells, will reinforce the others to kill the microbial invader. Specifically, here is what each does to aid in the destruction of bacteria: 1. Neutrophils - phagocytic (cell eaters). 2. Basophils - produce histamine (inflammation) and heparin (clotting). 3. Eosinophils - reduce inflammation (in allergic reactions). 4. Lymphocytes - immunities and specific defenses. 5. Monocytes - the biggest cell, becomes a phagocyte during infections (macrophage).

What are the 3 type of white blood cell?

the three types of white blood cells are lymphocytes which produces a chemical called antibodies, to destroy the bacteria. The second type is antitoxins and they neutralise the poisons that the bacteria are making. Another type is phagocytes which engulf (eat) the bacteria into the cytoplasm and kill them
