I propped myself up on an elbow and rubbed my eyes. Jenny was lying on her side, knees pulled to her chest. "The baby what?"
"I'm having bad cramps," she said. "I've been lying here timing them. We need to call Dr. Sherman."

I have to confess: I did not get the book that is closest to me. Had I done so, the text would have been these:

Multiple bacterial pathogens that parasitize phagocytic cells, such as macrophages, reside within the endosomal-phagosomal network. These pathogens often are accessible to the MHC Class II antigen presentation network and can colocalize with the antimicrobial effector molecules of macrophages that are delivered to the phagolysosome. Prototypical pathogens of this type include Mycobacterium and Salmonella spp. Control of these pathogens depends most on CD4+ T-cell activation of antimicrobial killing through IFN-γ. IFN-γ secreted by T cells activates macrophages to kill pathogens through nitric oxide, reactive oxygen intermediates, and lysosomal enzymes. Strong evidence of the importance of these pathways of intracellular killing comes from clinical observation and mouse studies.

A book is a generic term afterall.
