Yes it is. This test can be used to differentiate between S. aureus (which is positive) and S. epidermidis (which is negative).
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..
Staphylococcus aureus is positive for gelatinase production. Gelatinase is an enzyme that hydrolyzes gelatin, and the presence of this enzyme can be demonstrated through specific laboratory tests, such as the gelatin hydrolysis test. This characteristic can help differentiate S. aureus from other staphylococcal species that may not produce gelatinase.
Staphylococcus aureus is a bacteria, not a fungus.

Yes, Staphylococcus aureus is positive for catalase because it produces the enzyme catalase, which helps to break down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. This results in the production of bubbles when hydrogen peroxide is added to a colony of Staphylococcus aureus.
It's possible that it can be.
Sounds like MRSA
Staphylococcus aureus is not known to have nitrate reduction capability. Nitrate reduction is a feature commonly associated with bacteria like Escherichia coli and some other enteric bacteria. Staphylococcus aureus typically does not reduce nitrate to nitrite or nitrogen gas.
The coagulase test is commonly used to identify Staphylococcus aureus. This test detects the enzyme coagulase produced by S. aureus, which causes plasma to clot. Positive results indicate the presence of S. aureus, while negative results are obtained for other Staphylococcus species.
Staphylococcus aureus is a Gram-positive bacteria. it has a perfect spherical cell with a diameter of one micrometer. The cell cluster looks like grapes under a microscope.
Staphylococcus aureus is typically methyl red negative. Methyl red test is used to determine the ability of an organism to perform mixed-acid fermentation of glucose, with a positive result indicating a significant drop in pH. Staphylococcus aureus is not known to produce enough acid to yield a positive result with the methyl red test.
