Bacterial enzymes can make it really hard for our immune system to fight off infections. This can create serious problems when we try to manage these infections.

Here are some of the difficulties:

• Bacteria can break down the proteins that help our immune system.
• They can avoid being eaten by cells that are supposed to destroy them.
• They can change how our body reacts to inflammation.

These problems can lead to infections that last a long time and can make people even more sick.

But there are some possible solutions:

• We can work on creating substances that stop these enzymes from working.
• We can improve vaccines to help our immune system better.
• We can put more resources into new treatments that boost our immunity.

Fixing these problems is really important for helping people get better.
