Steps could include:
1. phagocytosis
2. phagosome-lysosome fusion
3. destruction of bacteria in phagolysosome
4. packaging of bacterial antigens in MHCII for presentation
5. exocytosis of bacterial remnants

Macrophage phagocytosis of a bacterium, followed by phagosome/lysosome fusion. In the phagolysosome, lytic enzymes, low pH, and reactive oxygen species destroy the… -

A macrophage phagocytoses a bacterium. The phagosome and lysosome fuse, and the bacterium is destroyed. Then antigens of the bacterium are presented in the MHC class II… -
