An organism can survive or resist phagocytosis which statement is correct?
Added by Jack Y.
Step 1
Phagocytosis is a process by which certain cells, known as phagocytes, engulf and digest foreign particles, bacteria, and dead or dying cells. It is a key mechanism of the immune system. Show more…

The three ways by which bacteria can overcome, evade, or avoid phagocytosis are as follows: 1. Contact of phagocytes can be avoided by remaining in a region inaccessible to phagocytes, ability to respond to irreversible inflammation, and production of chemicals that inhibit phagocyte chemotaxis. 2. Phagocytic engulfment is inhibited by polysaccharide capsule, M-protein, fimbriae, O polysaccharide, surface slime, and K and Vi-antigen. 3. Kill the phagocytes and survive inside the cell, prevent the fusion of phagocytic lysosomes with phagocytes, and escape from the phagocytes after rupturing its membrane. Describe the results/consequences of two of the events (items) below (6pts):

Microbial evasion of phagocytosis can include all of the following EXCEPT Survive in phagolysosome Stop transcription Killing phagocyte Inhibit adherence
Maryam R.
Suppose that a bacterial cell is taken in by a phagocyte. Once inside, the phagosome never fuses with the lysosome. This would cause the ingested bacterium to... Die quicker OR Possibly survive the process of phagocytosis.
