What are two ways that the white blood cells actually get rid of bacteria?

White blood cells eliminate bacteria primarily through phagocytosis and the release of antimicrobial substances. In phagocytosis, certain white blood cells, like macrophages and neutrophils, engulf and digest bacteria by enclosing them in a membrane-bound vesicle. Additionally, white blood cells can release antimicrobial proteins and enzymes that directly kill bacteria or inhibit their growth, contributing to the immune response.
