Gram-positive, spherical or ovoid cells, occurring as single cells, pairs of cells, or
chains of three cells. Non-motile. Non-spore-forming.
chains of three cells. Non-motile. Non-spore-forming.
Colonies on TSA supplemented with 5% sheep blood after incubation for 48 h at 36
ºC are non-pigmented, circular, smooth, shiny, milky, 2-3 mm in diameter. Weak
alpha-haemolytic activity. After incubation for 48 h at 36 ºC on enterococcosel agar
plates (BD), colonies with positive aesculin reaction are formed. Grows at 10 and 45
ºC, and in BHI broth supplemented with 6.5% NaCl. Facultatively anaerobic.
