Description is based on a single isolate.
Gram-positive pleomorphic rods. Non-spore-forming. Non-motile. Tuberculostearic
acid is absent.
acid is absent.
Good growth occurs on PYE agar and blood agar but not on MacConkey agar
colonies on PYE agar are creamy-whitish, non-translucent, 0.5 mm diameter.
CAMP-positive. Omptimum growth temperature is 18 ºC. Facultatively anaerobic.

Most biochemical reactions were determined by API Coryne test.
Positive results for alkaline phosphatase, catalase, pyrazinamidase, acid production from glucose & maltose.
Negative results for esculin hydrolysis, gelatin hydrolysis, N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase, alpha-glucosidase, beta-galactosidase,
beta-glucuronidase, lipophilic reaction, nitrate reduction, oxidase, pyrrolidonyl arylamidase, urease, acid production from: glycogen,
lactose, mannitol, ribose, raffinose, rhamnose, salicin, sucrose, trehalose & xylose.
