Lysosomes have digestive enzymes. When a white blood cell encounters a bacteria a couple things may happen: 1- it may take the bacteria inside and basicaly eat the bacteria (phagocytosis) or 2- it may realese chemicals that kills the bacteria without taking it inside. In both cases, it is the enzymes of the lysosomes that kill the bacteria.
