Gram positive cocci, 0.5–1.5 μm, non-motile, non-spore-forming.
Colonies beige or yellow, opaque, with entire margins, 6–8 mm in dimeter after 2
days incubation at 37°C on brain heart infusion agar. Grows aerobically, 37ºC.
Other media: Trypticase Soy Agar ± 5% sheep blood, Special medium: 10g Casein
peptone, 5g Glucose, 5g Yeast extract, 5g NaCl, 15g Agar; bring to 1000ml with
distilled water, pH 7.3
