Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Leukocidins, biofilms, capsules, and M protein all provide protection from phagocytic digestion by preventing or resisting phagocytosis or by killing phagocytic cells. The formation of phagolysosomes, on the other hand, is a critical step in the phagocytic process that leads to the digestion of engulfed particles, including bacteria. Therefore, the formation of phagolysosomes does not provide protection from phagocytic digestion.
