Species description is based on a single isolate.
Gram-positive, diphtheroid rods; branching and coccoid forms occur. Non-acid-fast.
Non-spore-forming.
Non-spore-forming.
Colonies are pinpoint, convex, white or gray, opaque, shiny, on fastidious anaerobe
agar after 2 days. Facultative anaerobic but grew better under anaerobic conditions.
