Question

When a bacteria enters the spaces between your cells what recognizes that an invasion of your body has occurred?
Macrophage, eosinophil, suppressor cell, or lymphocyte

Macrophage.

Macrophages and neutrophils are the primary immune cells that recognize bacterial infection. The interaction between macrophages and bacteria leads to the release of cytokines that recruit other immune cells. As a result, macrophages engulf and digest bacterial cells.
