White blood cells (neutrophils) attack pathogen cells once these exceed a certain threshold. There will be different strains of bacteria attacking cells and being attacked by neutrophils. Upon random assignment of white blood cell or specific strain of bacteria, there a description of the cell/phagocyte's role will be given.
SPECIFIC ROLE OF NEUTROPHILS: Abundant in the blood, these quickly enter tissues and phagocytize pathogens. Making up 50% of all white blood cells, they are short-lived (8 hours) and highly mobile (1000X speed of all other cells)
