The Terminal Pathway
 The following slides are a graphical
illustration of the terminal pathway
 The end-point is the formation of the
membrane attack complex which punches a
hole in the bacterial membrane.
 This loss of membrane integrity results in
the death of the bacteria
• The graphics run automatically
