| Description: | Gram-positive, nonmotile, nonsporeforming coccus that occurs in
chains or in pairs of cells. Individual cells are round-to-ovoid
cocci, 0.6-1.0 micrometer in diameter. It is a catalase-negative
aerotolerant anaerobe (facultative anaerobe). It requires enriched
medium containing blood in order to grow. It has a capsule composed
of hyaluronic acid. Its genome has low G+C content.
Strict human pathogen responsible for a wide variety of diseases,
including pharyngitis, scarlet fever, impetigo, septicemia, toxic
shock syndrome, flesh-eating disease, rheumatic fever and acute
glomerulonephritis.
