Immunité non spécifique [...] Les barrières anatomiques jouent un rôle important. La protection y est à la fois mécanique et chimique : la sueur, les acides gras et le lysozyme de la peau ou des muqueuses ont un certain pouvoir bactéricide. On peut aussi attribuer un rôle protecteur à l'acide chlorhydrique dans l'estomac et aux produits de la flore intestinale.
