Lancefield group D.
Lancefield group D.
Gram-positive, non-motile ovoids, typically occurring in pairs or long chains.
Anaerobic growth for 24 h on sheep blood agar produces flat, shiny, off-white, round,
alpha-haemolytic colonies, 1–2 mm in diameter. Colonies have a tendency to imbed
into sheep blood agar. Facultatively anaerobic.
Grow in the presence of 40% bile and 0.016% potassium tellurite, but not 6.5% NaCl.
