Description is based on a single isolate.
Gram-positive rods, 1-2 / 0.5 µm. Non-motile. Non-spore-forming.
Facultative anaerobic. Grows at 37 ºC. A weak zone of haemolysis after 48 hours of
incubation in microaerobic conditions on sheep blood agar. CAMP-like reaction is
positive (with Rhodococcus equi as indicator). Reverse CAMP reaction is negative.
