Description Streptococci are spherical or ovoid bacteria that grow in pairs or chains of varying length. Most are facultatively anaerobic, but some are obligate anaerobes. Streptococci are gram-positive, nonspore-forming, and catalasenegative, and most are nonmotile. There are over 20 identified species of Streptococcus. Classification depends on a combination of features, including patterns of hemolysis observed on blood agar plates, antigenic composition, growth characteristics, biochemical reactions, and genetic analysis.
