Part of the book series: Comprehensive Immunology ((COMIMUN,volume 8))

Abstract

This chapter outlines the major features of bacterial immunity and provides a framework in which to place the more detailed analyses presented later. The remarkable specificity of some host-parasite relations is illustrated by some clinical examples. A detailed description of the methods of bacterial attack is followed by a discussion of the ways in which they are contained by host defense mechanisms.
