yes, a neutrophil will produce an oxidative burst to destroy bacteria faster than by phagocytosis. An oxidative burst may contain superoxide anion, hypochlorite anion, or hydrogen peroxide.
they trap, kill and ingest them
Yes, neutrophils can produce hydroxyl radicals as part of their antimicrobial mechanisms to kill bacteria. Hydroxyl radicals are highly reactive molecules that can damage bacterial cell membranes and DNA, contributing to the neutrophils' antibacterial activity.

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.
This enzyme is produced by some bacteria to kill leukocytes mainly neutrophils. The name leukocidin tells you what it does. Leuko = white + cidin = kill.
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.

Yes, pepper has antimicrobial properties that can help inhibit the growth of bacteria, but it is not a guaranteed method to kill all bacteria.
Well there are lots of helpful, symbiotic bacteria in your saliva that help kill lots of harmful bacteria and viruses; so in a way, yes.
Yes, cayenne pepper has antimicrobial properties that can help kill certain types of bacteria.
