Bel et al. 2013.
Gram-positive cocci, 0.5-1.5 μm in diameter, occuring single, in pairs or clusters. Non-
spore-forming. Non-motile.
Colonies are 3-4 mm in diameter after 48 h of incubation at 35 ºC, circular, smooth,
raised to umbonate, glistering and opaque with entire edges. Become yellow
pigmented after prolonged incubation (except for strain SEQ027 which is yellow after
overnight incubation). Facultatively anaerobic. Capnophile. A diffuse, 1 mm zone of
beta-haemolysis on 5% sheep and horse blood agar is produced. Red colonies on
mannitol salt agar are produced.
Isolated from human clinical specimens (type strain from blood culture) in Jette, Belgium. Sensitive to novobiocin and vancomycin.
Undetermined.
