Answer (1)

The complement system is the immune component that quickly responds to Staphylococcus aureus, triggering inflammation. This system activates proteins that enhance the immune response and increase blood flow to the site of infection. While phagocytes and B lymphocytes are also important, they react more slowly compared to the complement system. ;
