  2. Staphylococcus aureus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staphylococcus_aureus

    Staphylococcus aureus is a gram-positive spherically shaped bacterium, a member of the Bacillota, and is a usual member of the microbiota of the body, frequently found in the upper respiratory tract and on the skin. It is often positive for catalase and nitrate reduction and is a facultative anaerobe, meaning that it can grow without oxygen. [1]

  3. Staphylococcal infection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staphylococcal_infection

    Staphylococcus scalded skin syndrome – Staphylococcus scalded skin syndrome is caused by toxins produced when a staph infection gets too severe. It is characterized by a fever, rash, and blisters. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) – MRSA is one of the most common antibiotic-resistant strains of staph bacteria. It is more ...

  4. Staphylococcus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staphylococcus

    Staphylococcus species are facultative anaerobes (capable of growth both aerobically and anaerobically). [15] All species grow in the presence of bile salts. All strains of Staphylococcus aureus were once thought to be coagulase-positive, but this has since been disproven. [16] [17] [18] Growth can also occur in a 6.5% NaCl solution. [15]

  5. Micrococcal nuclease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micrococcal_nuclease

    Micrococcal nuclease (EC 3.1.31.1, S7 Nuclease, MNase, spleen endonuclease, thermonuclease, nuclease T, micrococcal endonuclease, nuclease T', staphylococcal nuclease, spleen phosphodiesterase, Staphylococcus aureus nuclease, Staphylococcus aureus nuclease B, ribonucleate (deoxynucleate) 3'-nucleotidohydrolase) is an endo-exonuclease that preferentially digests single-stranded nucleic acids.

  6. Staphylococcus pseudintermedius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staphylococcus...

    Staphylococcus pseudintermedius is a gram-positive spherically shaped bacterium of the genus Staphylococcus [1] found worldwide. [2] It is primarily a pathogen for domestic animals, [ 3 ] [ 4 ] but has been known to affect humans as well. [ 5 ]

  7. Staphyloxanthin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staphyloxanthin

    The pigment staphyloxanthin gave the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus a yellow color. When comparing a normal strain of S. aureus with a strain modified to lack staphyloxanthin, the wildtype pigmented strain was more likely to survive incubation with an oxidizing chemical such as hydrogen peroxide than the mutant strain was.

  8. Haemophilus influenzae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haemophilus_influenzae

    Haemophilus influenzae satellite colonies (pin points) near Staphylococcus aureus (yellow) on blood agar plate. Bacterial culture of H. influenzae is performed on agar plates. The strongest growth is seen on chocolate agar at 37 °C in a CO 2-enriched incubator. [33] The ideal CO 2 concentration for the culture is ~5%. [34]

  9. Staphylococcus intermedius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staphylococcus_intermedius

    Staphylococcus intermedius is a Gram-positive, catalase positive member of the bacterial genus Staphylococcus consisting of clustered cocci. Strains of this species were originally isolated from the anterior nares of pigeons, dogs, cats, mink, and horses. Many of the isolated strains show coagulase activity. [2]
