Antibacterial activity of hydrogen peroxide and the lactoperoxidase-hydrogen peroxide-thiocyanate system against oral streptococci.
In secreted fluids, the enzyme lactoperoxidase (LP) catalyzes the oxidation of thiocyanate ion (SCN-) by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), producing the weak oxidizing agent hypothiocyanite (OSCN-), which has bacteriostatic activity. However, H2O2 has antibacterial activity in the absence of LP and thiocyan...
