Streptococcus hydrogen peroxidase

[uhna]

This is probably a very stupid question but I'm just trying to figure out the relationship between bacteria and chronic granulomatous disease and i know that staphylococcus is hydrogen peroxidase consuming but what i wanted to confirm is, are streptococci hydrogen peroxidase producing?

some do and some don't.
