This is an infographic tree describing the taxonomy of Gram Positive bacteria.
Some topics you will learn in this infographic:
Cocci:
This bacterium has a spherical shape.
Catalase Positive:
Characteristically, Staph saprophyticus is catalase-positive, meaning it produces the enzyme catalase. This enzyme allows the bacterium to convert hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen. This characteristic is helpful in distinguishing Staphylococci from catalase-negative Streptococci and Enterococci.
Bracilli:
These bacteria are bacilli, meaning they are rod shaped.
