Hydrogen Peroxide-Mediated Killing of Caenorhabditis elegans: a Common Feature of Different Streptococcal Species

Recently, we reported that Streptococcus pyogenes kills Caenorhabditis elegans by the use of hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)). Here we show that diverse streptococcal species cause death of C. elegans larvae in proportion to the level of H(2)O(2) produced. H(2)O(2) may mask the effects of other pathogen...
