Mechanism of killing bacteria by antibody–antibiotic conjugates (AAC). AAC binds bacteria and the host cells internalize AAC‐bound bacteria. In the next Step, fusion occurs with the phagolysosome where lysosomal cathepsins cleave the VC linker, releasing AAC. Then unconjugated AAC kills the intracellular bacteria.
