Collection 000037:  Phagocytosis of Candida yeast cells by blood monocytes. Humans are usually resistant to this yeast but causes thrush when it gets out of control. Monocytes are part of the family of amoeboid phagocyte cell types that combat infection by consuming foreign material such as bacteria or dead cells. This family also includes macrophages.
