Gram-positive cocci, nonmotile, nonsporeforming, grouped in long chains when
cultured in liquid media.
cultured in liquid media.
Colonies on 5% sheep blood Columbia agar are grey, non-haemolytic and 0.7-1.0
mm in diameter after 24 h incubation.Grows well on both Columbia sheep blood agar
and chocolate agar at 37 ºC in a 5% CO2 -enriched atmosphere. Growth at 45 ºC is
weak; growth does not occur at 10 ºC. No growth in 6.5% NaCl. Weak growth occurs
facultatively under anaerobic conditions.
