Gram-positive diphtheroid cells. Nonmotile. Nonspore-forming.
Colonies are whitish, slightly glistening, convex, creamy or sticky consistency and 1
mm in diameter after 24 h of incubation at 37 ºC on sheep blood Columbia agar in a
5% CO2-enriched atmosphere. Strong CAMP reaction. Weak anaerobic growth.
