Gram-positive cocci, non-motile, grouped in pairs, tetrads or small groups.
Non-spore-forming.
Alpha-hemolytic, entire, small (<1 mm in diameter) colonies on horse blood agar.  
Non-pigmented. Grows in 6.5% NaCl. Grow at 37 ºC, and  30 ºC. Facultatively
anaerobic. Grows in MRS broth/agar. Produces a positive reaction in the bile-aesculin
test.
Isolated from human blood. Habitat is unknown.
Undetermined.
