Gram-positive cocci, grouped in short chains.
Alpha-hemolytic colonies. Growth temperature at 37.0 ºC, no growth at 10 or 45 ºC.
Grow on complex media (Trypticase soy agar with defibrinated sheep blood). Growth
does not occur in 6.5% NaCl broth.

First was isolated from bovine (skin, vagina, raw milk). Rarely isolated from human and animal clinical samples. Human isolates are

Doubtful pathogencity (possible urinary infections, wound infections, otitis media, pneumonia, pericarditis or meningitis). In bovines
is a normal inhabitant of the reproductive tract, but one case of metritis has been reported.

Positive results for esculin hydrolysis, acid production from: fructose, glucose, lactose, sucrose and maltose. It is weakly fermentative;
pH rarely decreased below 6 which makes the determination of fermentation reactions difficult. Inulin and mannitol fermentations are
delayed. Hippurate reaction is delayed.
Negative results for arginine hydrolysis, catalase, beta-mannosidase, urease, acid production from: adonitol, arabitol, arabinose,
D-cyclodextrin, dulcitol, erythritol, D- or L-fucose, methyl alpha-D-glucoside, 2- or 5-ketogluconate, gluconate, glycogen, glycerol,
inositol, lyxose, methyl alpha-D-mannoside, pullulan, raffinose, rhamnose, ribose, L-sorbose, sorbitol, starch, trehalose, D-turanose,
D- and L-xylose, xylitol and methyl beta-xyloside.
