Gram-positive, spherical to oval cocci, grouped in short chains.
Colonies on blood agar are small and smooth, with entire margins, and hemolytic,
showing a large zone of complete hemolysis. There is slight to normal growth at 10
ºC, but mostly no growth at 45 ºC, in 7 days. Grows in 6.5% NaCl broth in 24 to 48 h.
No extracellular polysaccharide is produced.

Isolated from the female genitourinary tract. Susceptible to vancomycin (30 ug/disk).
Uncertain pathogenicity to other animals or to humans - although was isolated from genitourinary tract of female patients, some with
delivery problems.

Fermentative metabolism. Biochemically very close to Streptococcus porcinus.
Positive results for arginine hydrolysis, aesculin hydrolysis, leucine aminopeptidase, acid production from: glucose, glycerol, maltose,
mannitol, ribose, salicin, sorbitol, sucrose and trehalose.
Negative results for catalase, hippurate hydrolysis, starch hydrolysis, urea hydrolysis, acid production from: lactose and melibiose.
Variable results for Voges-Proskauer reaction
