staph. aureus test positive for catalase test and coagulase test consecutively
To differentiate it from other gram positive, bacteria that are coccus.
Most Bacillus species are Catalase positive.
The morphologically similar Enterococcus (catalase negative) and Staphylococcus (catalase positive) can be differentiated using the catalase test.
it should test + for catalase but Salmonella isolates are moderate catalase reactors.
positive
Yes, it is catalase positive. This is because it is capable of breaking down hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to give water and oxygen. The presence of bubbles when hydrogen peroxide is added to E. coli on a microscope slide is a phenotypic (observable physical characteristic) proof that it is catalase positive.

you need to test both the experiment-organism and an organism which you already know is catalase-positive, in the same environment in order to compare the results and determine if your experiment-organism is catalase-positive. - See more at: http://www.chacha.com/question/why-is-it-advisable-to-perform-a-catalase-test-on-a-known-catalase%26%2345%3Bpositive-organism-along-with-the-organism-you-are-testing#sthash.oChX8ZqW.dpuf
E. coli is catalyse test positive.
The main criterion for differentiation between Staphylococcus and Streptococcus genera is the catalase test. Staphylococci are catalase positive whereas Streptococci are Catalase negative. Catalase is an enzyme used by bacteria to induce the reaction of reduction of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen.
Catalse Test Catalase (also known as peroxidase) is an enzyme that catalyses the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide to oxygen and water. Most higher organisms produce catalase, but in bacteriology this test is usually used to differentiate staphylococci (Catalase positive) from streptococci (Catalase negative). Chemical equation for the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide:2H2O2 → 2H2O + O2 In this test a drop of hydrogen peroxide is emulsified with the bacterial growth, if the organism is catalase positive active bubbling is seen (formation of oxygen) In catalase negative reactions no active bubbling is seen

Because catalase is found in red blood cells.
