catalase
In terms of microbiology, S. aureus and S. epi can be differentiated through a number of metabolic tests. The tests being Methyl Red, Vogues-Prauskauer, Mannitol fermentation (of which S. aureus would be + and S. epi - ) and Oxidase (S. aureus - and S. epi + ).
coagulase
In the medical community human skin is commonly considered the reservoir for S. aureus. More specifically, in the infection control community the most common place to find S. aureus and MRSA are the nares and perinium - that's the first place we sample for culture swabs. That being said, humans aren't the only reservoirs for S. aureus, it's also been found in herd animals.
Gram positive, coccus shape.
S. aureus is Nitrate Reduction test positive....
Yes it is. This test can be used to differentiate between S. aureus (which is positive) and S. epidermidis (which is negative).
Metabolic tests such as an oxidase test can be used to differentiate S epidermidis and E faecalis. Such a test can be conducted by adding H2O2 to the colony. The result for S aureus will be negative and the result for S epidermidis will be positive.

coagulase
Bacillus cereus is positive for gelatin hydrolysis. This bacteria is capable of hydrolyzing gelatin(a protein), thus, a nutrient gelatin medium inoculated with this bacteria will remain liquid when placed in an ice bath (don't agitate).the bacteria had proteases that is responsible for the hydrolysis of the gelatin..
Yes. S. epidermidis is a bacterial species found commonly on the skin as a part of a human's natural bioflora. Sweating releases salt and causes the surface of our skin to be very salty, providing an environment in which many bacteria would normally perish. S. epidermidis, however, prefers such an environment and thus it is also able to grow regularly when cultured on Mannitol Salt Agar plates.

S. aureus is Nitrate Reduction test positive....
no it is not. they have researched it and it is not true.
Most times it's Staphylococcus aureus, or S. aureus. It's a normal bacteria present on the skin, and it's opportunistic.
