Biochemical identification
of Streptococcus agalactiae

There are many commercially available kits for identification of Streptococcus species. They are useful especially for identification of non-beta-hemolytic streptococci.

A table with biochemical properties of S.agalactiae, S.pyogenes and other streptococci you can find here (page 50).
