About this document
Biochemical Tests for Staphylococcus & Streptococcus by Joshua Ty Cayetano is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document summarizes biochemical tests to differentiate between Staphylococcus, Micrococcus, and Streptococcus bacteria. Catalase and oxidase tests can differentiate Staphylococcus and Micrococcus from Streptococcus. Coagulase tests identify pathogenic Staphylococcus aureus and S. intermedius. Additional tests like PYR, novobiocin susceptibility, and ornithine decarboxylase further differentiate staphylococcal species. A combination of these biochemical tests can identify bacteria in these three genera.
