Typical characteristics
* Catalase
* Coagulase
* NaCl tolerance
صفحه 4:
Catalase
* Important enzyme in protecting the cell
from oxidative damage by reactive
oxygen species
Enzyme action is breakdown of toxic H202
producing oxygen gas and water
catalas
=
2H202 (20 + 2

Biochemistry tests
Catalase test:
— Place a drop of 3% H,O, on a glass slide
— Positive reaction: gas generation
— S. aureus: positive
صفحه 6:
Couagulase
* The coagulase test is used to
differentiate the potentially
pathogenic species
Staphylococcus aureus from the
usually non-pathogenic species
Staphylococcus epidermidis.

Types of coagulase
There are 2 types of coagulase
enzyme:
1- bound coagulase.
2-free coagulase.
صفحه 9:
bound coagulase.
It is tightly bound to the surface of the bacteria
Bound coagulase reacts with the fibrinogen in
plasma, causing the fibrinogen to precipitate.
This causes the cells to agglutinate, or clump
together, which creates the “lumpy” look of a
positive coagulase slide test.
صفحه 10:
Free coagulase.
It is an extracellular enzyme.
Free coagulase reacts with a
component of plasma called
coagulase-reacting factor.
The result is to cause the plasma to
coagulate.

Monnitol salt agar
* This tests for the bacteria’s ability to
tolerate 7% salt concentration and
ferment mannitol.
* The media is selective because it
selects for salt tolerant bacteria.
* The media is also differential because
it differentiates the salt tolerant
organisms on their ability to ferment
mannitol.
