Do neutrophils use hydroxyl radical to kill bacteria?

The white blood cells that kill nearby bacteria by releasing chemicals that are identical to household bleach are called?
neutrophils
Which cells surround and destroy bacteria?
White blood cells, specifically neutrophils and macrophages, are responsible for surrounding and destroying bacteria in the body. Neutrophils can engulf bacteria through a process called phagocytosis, while macrophages can also secrete toxic chemicals to kill bacteria.
Immune cells that destroy bacteria with chemicals need an abundance of what?
Immune cells that destroy bacteria with chemicals need an abundance of enzymes and reactive oxygen species (such as hydrogen peroxide and superoxide) to effectively kill and eliminate the bacteria. These substances help the immune cells to break down and degrade the bacteria's cell wall and components.
What does the bacterial enzyme leukocidin do?

What leukocyte is the main bacteria slayer in the body?
B cells_____B cells do not "slay" bacteria. B cells produce antibodies that assist the body in dealing with foreign antigens (such as bacteria), but do not directly kill any bacteria.Neutrophils would likely be considered the primary defense against invading bacteria, followed by macrophages. These two cells types would be considered the primary "bacteria slayers" in the body.
