During the inflammation process, cells and tissues undergo liquefaction and necrosis under the action of proteolytic enzymes released by bacteria and neutrophils, and the fluid of the blood vessels leaks out to form a thick liquid that is grayish yellow or yellowish white to the naked eye.

- Pus (pus) is a thick or thin mixture formed during the inflammation of body tissues. During inflammation, cells and tissues undergo liquefaction and necrosis under the action of proteolytic enzymes released by bacteria and neutrophils. The liquid exudates, forming a thick liquid with a grayish yellow or yellow-white appearance to the naked eye. Except for a very small number of neutrophils that still have the ability to phagocytose, most of them have undergone degeneration and necrosis, called pus cells . In addition to pus cells, pus also contains a large number of bacteria, necrotic tissue fragments and a small amount of tissue fluid. The main substances include degenerated and necrotic leukocytes and lymphocytes, Staphylococcus aureus, tissue fluid of necrotic tissues, bacterial metabolites and pathogens. The vital white blood cells (WBC) can devour invading bacteria, viruses, parasites and other necrotic tissue fragments. One white blood cell will die after processing 5 to 25 germs. Pus.
