●  C. Catalase-positive

○  1. Catalase-negative → 4

○  2. Catalase-positive → 5

●  D. Non-beta hemolytic

○  1. Beta hemolytic → Streptococcus

○  2. Non-beta hemolytic → Enterococcus and Streptococcus Bovis

●  E. Coagulase-positive

○  1. Coagulase-negative → Staphylococcus epidermidis

○  2. Coagulase-positive → Staphylococcus

●  F. Coagulase-negative

○  1. Non-mannitol fermenter → Staphylococcus saprophyticus

○  2. Mannitol fermenter → Staphylococcus aureus

●  G. Non-mannitol fermenter

○  1. Gamma hemolytic → Viridans Streptococci
