Chemotaxis Neutrophils are White blood cells that hunt and kill bacteria, in this spread a neutrophil is seen in the midst of red blood cells a staphilococos aureus bacteria has been added the bacteria releases a chemo attractant that is sensed by the neutrophil. The neutrophil becomes polarized and starts chasing the bacteria, the bacteria bounced around by thermal energy moves in a random path seeming to avoid its predator, eventually the neutrophil catches up with the bacteria and engulfs it by fagocytosis.
