The hand holding the tube is then tapped on the bench, moving the hydrogen peroxide down until it touches the bacteria. If bubbles form on contact, this indicates a positive catalase result. This test can detect catalase-positive bacteria at concentrations above about 10 5 cells/mL, [50] and is simple to use.
Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), also known as Bridges–Good syndrome, chronic granulomatous disorder, and Quie syndrome, [1] is a diverse group of hereditary diseases in which certain cells of the immune system have difficulty forming the reactive oxygen compounds (most importantly the superoxide radical due to defective phagocyte NADPH oxidase) used to kill certain ingested pathogens.

Staphylococcus warneri is a member of the bacterial genus Staphylococcus, consisting of Gram-positive bacteria with spherical cells appearing in clusters. It is catalase-positive, oxidase-negative, and coagulase-negative, and is a common commensal organism found as part of the skin flora on humans and animals.
Proteus vulgaris is a rod-shaped, nitrate-reducing, indole-positive and catalase-positive, hydrogen sulfide-producing, Gram-negative bacterium that inhabits the intestinal tracts of humans and animals. It can be found in soil, water, and fecal matter.
As mentioned, S. agalactiae is a Gram-positive coccus with a tendency to form chains, beta-haemolytic, catalase-negative, and facultative anaerobe (anaerobic organism).GBS grows readily on blood agar plates as microbial colonies surrounded by a narrow zone of β-haemolysis.
To differentiate any bacterial growth from other species a small amount of a bacterial colony is Gram stained and tested for oxidase and catalase. Gram negative diplococci that are oxidase and catalase positive are then tested for fermentation of the following carbohydrates: maltose, sucrose, and glucose.
Bacillus subtilis is a Gram-positive bacterium, rod-shaped and catalase-positive. It was originally named Vibrio subtilis by Christian Gottfried Ehrenberg , [ 9 ] and renamed Bacillus subtilis by Ferdinand Cohn in 1872 [ 10 ] (subtilis being the Latin for "fine, thin, slender").
They are oxidase-positive, catalase-negative, urease-negative, and indole-negative, and reduce nitrate to nitrite. [ citation needed ] In 2006, Azakami et al reported that the periodontal pathogen E. corrodens has an ortholog of luxS , the gene required for quorum sensing (QS) signal molecule AI-2 synthesis and that E. corrodens can produce AI ...
