All species of genus Streptococcus (family Streptococcaceae, order Lactobacillales, class Bacilli, phylum Firmicutes, kingdom Bacteria) are, as the name suggests, cocci. That is to say: round shaped.

They are also generally found in chains rather than individuals.

They are gram positive and there are several hemolytic strains (although there are some non-hemolytic streptococci.)
