Phagocytes, a type of immune cell, engulf and destroy microbes through a process called phagocytosis. During this process, the phagocyte surrounds the microbe, engulfs it, and then uses enzymes and reactive oxygen species within specialized compartments called phagosomes to break it down. This is a crucial part of the body's defense system against infections.
