Gram-positive cocci, grouped in pairs or short chains, nonspore-forming.
Grey-white, 0.2-0.3 mm in diameter colonies after 24 hours incubation on sheep blood
agar. Initially nonhemolytic, become beta-haemolytic after 3 days. Facultatively
anaerobic, growth at 37.0 ºC. Growth on : Trypticase soy agar with sheep blood.

Some characters were tested on API (Biomerieux) kits.
Positive results for alanine phenylalanine proline arylamidase, acid phosphatase
(weak reaction), chymotrypsin, leucine arylamidase, valine arylamidase positive and acid production from lactose.
Negative results for esculin, alpha- & beta-glucosidase, beta-glucuronidase, catalase, hippurate hydrolysis, Voges-Proskauer
reaction, acid production from: L-arabinose, D-arabitol, cyclodextrin, glycogen, inulin, mannitol, melibiose, melezitose, methyl
beta-D-glucopyranoside, pullulan, raffinose, ribose, sorbitol, starch, sucrose, D-tagatose and trehalose.
Variable results for arginine dihydrolase, alkaline phosphatase, beta-galactosidase, urease and acid production from maltose.
