This document discusses several laboratory tests used to diagnose Staphylococcal and Streptococcal infections, including catalase tests, growth on diphasic and MSA media, antibiotic sensitivity tests, heat resistance tests, optochin tests, phage typing, growth on nutrient agar and blood agar, and microscopic examination. These tests help identify Staphylococcus aureus and differentiate between alpha-hemolytic and beta-hemolytic streptococci.
