How does active and passive immunity function?
Both passive and active immunity have role in the elimination of bacteria and naturalization of toxins. Extracellular bacteria G+ and G- induce inflammation and production of toxins. Hence, active immunity responses by production of antibodies and passive immunity via phagocytes and complement activation, cytotoxic production by macrophages.

Yes to some bacteria. When antibiotics were first discovered they were considered 'miracle' drugs and over used to the point now that some bacteria will not respond.
