Growth on MacConkey is positive.
Present in nasopharynx and tonsils (almonds) of sheep & goats.
Mastitis in sheep and septicaemia in lambs. Rarely human infections.

Positive results for nitrates reduction, oxidase, alkaline phosphatase, acid production
from: meso-inositol, mannitol, D(-) sorbitol, D(+) glucose (without gas), D(+) mannose,
maltose, sucrose (saccharose), trehalose, esculin, and salicin.

Negative results for catalase, gelatinase, urease, lysine decarboxylase, ornithine decarboxylase, arginine dyhydrolase, ONPG,
