Possessing the ability to remain dormant within a phagocyte
This cannot avoid phagocytosis as dormant forms are also killed by phagocytosis.
Formation of biofilms avoids complement immunity and phagocytosis. These exogenous antigens enter antigen-presenting cells or APCs (macrophages, dendritic cells, and B-lymphocytes) through phagocytosis
Superantigens are unusual bacterial toxins that interact with exceedingly large numbers of T4-lymphocytes.
a phagolysosome, or endolysosome, is a cytoplasmic body formed by the fusion of a phagosome with a lysosome in a process that occurs during phagocytosis.
The capsule is considered a virulence factor because it enhances the ability of bacteria to cause disease (e.g. prevents phagocytosis).
