, 2010 Abstract This chapter looks at staphylococci, which are Gram-positive cocci that form clusters, but can occur singly, in pairs, chains, or tetrads. They are classically distinguished from other Gram-positive cocci by presence of catalase, an enzyme that degrades hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). S. aureus is distinguished from other coagulase-

Staphylococci and their Classification [PDF]
Journal of General Microbiology, 1951 SUMMARY: The biochemical and fermentation reactions of 432 strains of aerobic, catalase-positive. Gram-positive cocci were examined in an attempt to produce an orderly classification of the group. The subdivision into Staphylococcus, Micrococcus, Gaffkya and Sarcina could not be justified, and, as Micrococcus is regarded as an invalid generic name, all
