It is recommended to have antibiotic sensitivity testing before deciding the application of the antibiotic. The commonly used antibiotics against this bacterium are penicillin, tetracycline, streptomycin, novobiocin, sulfonamides, lincomycin, and spectinomycin.

Vancomycin is considered now to be the most effective antibiotic against this bacterium.
