Gram-positive cocci, forming small groups. Non-spore-forming.
Colonies on brain heart infusion agar supplemented with 5% horse blood are about
0.5-0.8 mm in diameter, yellow-golden, round with raised margin, smooth, convex
and non-haemolytic at 37 ºC. Grows well under aerobic and anaerobic conditions at
25, 30 or 37 ºC, but not at 10 or 45 ºC.
