Isolated from clinical samples from pigs.
Isolated from swine lungs and kidney (2 strains). May be a cause of pneumonia and septicemia.

Description is based on API 50 CH and API Rapid ID 32 Strep tests results.
Positive results for alpha-galactosidase, beta-galactosidase, acid phosphatase, leucine arylamidase, beta- glucuronidase,
alanine-phenylalanine-proline arylamidase, glycyl-tryptophane arylamidase, acid production from: D-fructose, D-glucose, D-lactose,
maltose, raffinose, sacharose, and trehalose.
