Serologic grouping is based on antigenic differences in cell wall carbohydrates, in cell wall pili-associated protein, and in the polysaccharide capsule in group B streptococci. This is a species of Gram-positive, non-motile, non-spore-forming, cocci. It has been isolated from human throat, blood and urine and from ovine clinical samples. It can cause subclinical mastitis in sheep and is involved in dental plaque formation in humans
