Info

Catalase •All staphylococci produce catalase, which catalyzes the conversion of toxic hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen. •Hydrogen peroxide can accumulate during bacterial metabolism or after phagycytosis.
Hyaluronidase •Hyaluronidase hydrolyzes hyaluronic acid, the acidic mucopolysaccharides present in the acellular matrix of connective tissue. •This enzyme facilitates the spread of S. aureus in tissues. •More than 90% of S. aureus strains produce this enzyme.
