Gram-positive, nonmotile, nonspore-forming cocci, occurring in pairs or chains.
Colonies may be alpha-hemolytic on sheep blood agar. Facultatively anaerobic,
optimal growth at 35-37.0 ºC. Do not grow on 6.5% NaCl medium or at 9.6 pH. Grow
on Trypticase soy agar with 5% defibrinated sheep blood. Growth is slow or absent at
10 ºC and does not occur at 45 ºC. Does not survive heating at 65 ºC for 30 minutes.

Isolated from animals (nasal samples, milk).
It is a cause of bovine mastitis, also may be involved in septicaemia, encephalitis or abortus (bovines, horses).
Can produce bacteriocin-like inhibitory substances to closely related bacterial species.
