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.
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.
Yes it is. This test can be used to differentiate between S. aureus (which is positive) and S. epidermidis (which is negative).
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.
No. Impetigo is usually caused by Staphylococcus aureus, gram positive cocci.
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.
Post ID Special:Contributionssaid: "blue-violet.....because it is a gram-negative bacteria"Wrong...the color is correct, but S. aureus is gram-POSITIVE.
