Gram-negative coccobacilli. Nonmotile. Nonsporulated.
Colonies on tryptone soya agar after 24 h incubation at 30 ºC are approximately
1.0-2.0 mm in diameter, circular, convex, smooth and slightly opaque with entire
margins.
Growth occurs at 25-37 ºC, but not at 41 ºC. Weak growth of some strains occurs at
37 ºC. Strictly aerobic. Hemolytic; produce large zones of hemolysis after 24 h on
Columbia agar supplemented with sheep or horse blood.
