adding to what mash replied:
2. bacterial products eg formylated peptides in E Coli
3c C5-9
4. staph cant be killed bcaz they are catalase positive and whatever H2O2 they produce is degraded by themselves. By the way, strp are catalase -ve so cant degrage H2O2 produced by themselves. So they kind of kill themselves
