Bacterial killing by complement requires membrane attack complex formation via surface‐bound C5 convertases

The immune system kills bacteria by the formation of lytic membrane attack complexes (MACs), triggered when complement enzymes cleave C5. At present, it is not understood how the MAC perturbs the composite cell envelope of Gram‐negative bacteria. Here, we show that the role of C5 convertase enzymes...
