Lymphocytes, which are divided to T and B cells, begin to fight off bacteria. After the bacteria penetrate through the skin, the B-cells are activated and create antibodies for this specific bacteria. Then T cells are activated and migrate to the site of infection, where there is maximum concentration of the antigens.
