Member of the "Mitis group".
React with group F, C, G or B Lancefield antisera. Non-groupable strains may occur.

Gram-positive, 0.8-1.0 μm in diameter, nonmotile, nonspore-forming cocci.
Colonies are alpha-haemolytic on sheep blood agar.
Facultatively anaerobic, optimal growth at 37.0 ºC. Grows on: Trypticase soy agar with
5% defibrinated sheep blood. Most strains grow at 45 ºC and in the presence of 40%
bile but not in the presence of 4% NaCl.

Isolated from human throat, blood and urine; ovine clinical samples.
May cause subclinical mastitis in sheep; involved in dental plaque forming in humans.
Hydrogen peroxide is produced.
Extracellular polysaccharide is not produced.
Positive results for alpha & beta-galactosidase, alpha-glucosidase, alkaline phosphatase, arginine hydrolysis, acid production from
fructose, galactose, glucose, lactose, maltose, melibiose, N-acetylglucosamine, raffinose, salicin and sucrose.
Negative results for catalase, hyaluronidase, neuraminidase, pyrrolidonyl arylamidase, sialidase, urease, Voges-Proskauer reaction,
acid production from: adonitol, arabinose, glycerol, glycogen, inulin, mannitol, melezitose and xylose.
Variable results for fucosidase, beta-glucosidase, esculin hydrolysis, acid production from: arbutin, cellobiose, raffinose, salicin and
trehalose.
