Abstract
Valid resistance to infections is the result of a number of complex interactions between infectious agents and host’s immune response. Virulence of microorganisms, genetic factors, host’s immune mechanisms may in different ways influence the infectious agent host relationship. Phagocytes, including polymorphonucleates and macrophages, are the final effector cells in the elimination of a variety of bacteria and fungi.l
