This flashcard lists bacteria that are catalase-positive, meaning they produce the enzyme catalase. The mnemonic 'CATs Need PLACES to Belch HairballS' helps remember organisms like Nocardia, Pseudomonas, Listeria, Aspergillus, Candida, E.coli, Streptococci, Burkholderia, Helicobacter, and Serratia.
Los organismos catalasa positivos son bacterias que producen la enzima catalasa. La catalasa descompone el peróxido de hidrógeno en agua y oxígeno, lo que protege a la bacteria del daño oxidativo. La lista proporcionada utiliza un mnemónico para ayudar a recordar varios de estos organismos.
