Gram-positive straight to slightly curved rods, some of which exhibit branching.
Non-motile. Non-acid-fast.
Non-motile. Non-acid-fast.
Colonies are tiny, irregular, convex, white and adherent to medium. It was cultured on
Columbia agar (Difco) supplemented with 5% horse blood at 37 ºC in air plus 5%
CO2. Facultative anaerobic.
