Phagocytosis differs from autophagocytosis in that in phagocytosis cellular microbes are recognized, ingested, and killed, whereas in autophagocytosis intracellular pathogens are recognized and destroyed.
Phagocytosis is the process of engulfment where a cell engulfs particles like food or bacteria through its plasma membrane. It is a type of endocytosis. In this process, vesicles called phagosome are formed and particles larger than 0.5 μm are ingested.
Intracellular pathogens are the microbes that live and grow inside the cells of the host. These pathogens belong to the genera like Salmonella, Listeria, Brucella, Rickettsia, and Legionella.
