Gram-negative rods, 0.5-0.6 x 1.0-1.8 μm. Motile by means of peritrichous flagella.
Nonsporulating. Capsulated.
Nonsporulating. Capsulated.
Colonies may be observed at 16–24 h of incubation at 37 ºC under aerobic conditions.
They are convex, circular, and greyish cream white with entire edges on blood agar.
Can grow at 25 (reduced) and 42 ºC. Growth occurs on MacConkey agar, Blood agar,
Salmonella-Shigella agar, nutrient broth with 0 to 6% NaCl. No growth on Simmons
citrate agar and cetrimide agar. Diffusible brown pigment is not produced.
