They are carried around the body in the circulatory system
Infection-fighting cells, primarily leukocytes, move through the body via the bloodstream and lymphatic system. When an infection occurs, chemical signals from damaged tissues and pathogens attract these cells to the site of infection in a process called chemotaxis. They exit the bloodstream by squeezing through the walls of blood vessels, a process known as diapedesis, allowing them to reach and combat the infection effectively.
The cells capable of fighting bacterial infection in the body are white blood cells, specifically neutrophils and macrophages. These cells work together to engulf and destroy bacteria using mechanisms such as phagocytosis and releasing antimicrobial substances.
White blood cells play a key role in fighting infection and inflammation, helping to form pus when they accumulate at a site of infection. If pus is washed away, the white blood cells will continue to work to combat the infection, but the visible accumulation of pus may be reduced until the infection is resolved.
An infection could cause your body to produce more bacteria fighting white cells.
White blood cells tend to gobble up germs. White blood cells flock to areas of irritation and infection in order to fight them off.

HIV infection or AIDS is the disease, which you have infection by HIV virus, that attacks disease fighting cells in the blood.
pus is a collection of living, dead and dying cells as a result of the body fighting a contained infection.
Immunity.

The body will make White Blood Cells in greater number in response to an infection thereby fighting the infection.
It depends on how low. The white blood cells are the infection fighting cells. An individual with a wbc below 1000 would be at risk of catching an infection ,and not have the ability to fight it off.
Rifampin may temporarily lower the number of white blood cells. Because the white blood cells are important in fighting infection, this effect increases the chance of getting an infection.
The spleen is responsible for producing white blood cells. These cells are extremely important in their role fighting infections in the body.
White blood cells, specifically neutrophils, macrophages, and lymphocytes, are cells that play a key role in fighting infection. Neutrophils are the first responders to infection, while macrophages engulf and digest foreign invaders. Lymphocytes, such as T cells and B cells, help coordinate the immune response and produce antibodies to target pathogens.
