Toxic effect of the peroxidase-hydrogen peroxide-halide antimicrobial system on Mycobacterium leprae.

Klebanoff, S J
RESUMO
Mycobacterium leprae are killed by myeloperoxidase (or eosinophil peroxidase), H2O2, and a halide, thus suggesting a mechanism for their destruction by peroxidase-containing phagocytes.
