Answer:

The immune system in our body reacts to bacteria by first trying to detect/associate said bacteria with what it is already familiar with. If it fails, this causes the immune system to generate glucoproteins that we call "antibodies".

Explanation:

1. The body has several immune cells that are tasked with detection of foreign particles, usually through recognition of particular molecules that are either excreted by foreign bodies or located on the surface of them.

2.We call these molecules “antigens,” nonspecifically.

The cells that ingest/detect these antigens are called Antigen presenting cells (APCs).

Lots of bacteria have molecular markers that the immune system uses to identify and attack them.

3.These APCs typically either ingest the whole life form or at least some portion of it so they can present the antigen to another immune cell called the T cell.

The T cell finally takes this information and begins to direct other cells to attack anything that resembles the antigen that it was presented with.

4.With all of these antibodies being produced, the immune system hopes that enough of the bacteria will be bound by antibodies, and another subset of cells will use those antibodies as a marker of what to destroy.

Sometimes these antibodies will be accidentally made to attach to your own tissues, or will bind to things that shouldn’t be destroyed, which can play a part in autoimmune disease.

5.There are several other mechanisms, like temperature increase via molecules called cytokines or the formation of complement cascades, but this explanation is the most fundamental.
