RESPONSE TO
EXTRACELLULAR BACTERIA
Group Members
Neutralization of
microbes and their
toxins by binding to
their surface and
neutralize it by
blocking their active
sites.
Opsonization of
microbes (binding to
Fc receptors on
phagocytes; at the
same time, stimulation
of microbicidal
activities of
phagocytes) and also
tagging the pathogen.
Activation of the complement system both IgG
and IgM trigger the complement system which
results in cell lysis and inflammation.

Stages of Phagocytosis
1. Chemotaxis: Phagocytes are chemically attracted to
site of infection.
2. Adherence: Phagocyte plasma membrane attaches
to surface of pathogen or foreign material.
Adherence can be inhibited by capsules (S.
pneumoniae) or M protein (S. pyogenes).
Opsonization: Coating process with opsonins that
facilitates attachment.
Opsonins include antibodies and complement proteins.

of Infection by Chemotaxis
Stages of Phagocytosis (Continued)
3. Ingestion: Plasma membrane of phagocytes
extends projections (pseudopods) which engulf the
microbe. Microbe is enclosed in a sac called
phagosome.
4. Digestion: Inside the cell, phagosome fuses with
lysosome to form a phagolysosome.
Lysosomal enzymes kill most bacteria within 30
minutes and include:
Lysozyme: Destroys cell wall peptidoglycan
Lipases and Proteases
RNAses and DNAses
After digestion, residual body with undigestable
material is discharged.
