Gram-positive small, slim rods, 1-2 µm in length, arranged as single cells or in
clusters. Nonmotile. Asporogenous.
clusters. Nonmotile. Asporogenous.
Colonies are small after 1 day incubation (up to 1.5 mm in diameter), convex,
glistening, of creamy consistency, with yellow pigment on Columbia agar with 5%
sheep blood in a 5% CO2 – enriched atmosphere. Camp-negative. Grows at 37 ºC.
Grows in 2% NaCl medium.

Isolated from human clinical specimens (a corneal ulcer of a 14 year old female wearing contact lenses and a blood culture of a 39
year old male with acute myelogenous leukemia). Resistant to vancomycin but susceptible to teicoplanin.

Oxidative metabolism. Some characters were determined using API Coryne
(numerical code 2472325).
Positive results for acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase, casein hydrolysis, catalase, cystine arylamidase, DNase, esculin
hydrolysis, esterase (C4), esterase lipase (C8), alpha-fucosidase, beta-galactosidase, alpha- and beta-glucosidase,
N-acetyl-glucosaminidase, gelatin hydrolysis, leucine arylamidase, alpha-mannosidase, phosphoamidase, pyrazinamidase, tyrosine
hydrolysis, acid production (oxidatively) from: glucose, maltose, ribose & sucrose.
Negative results for arginine dihydrolase, chymotrypsin, alpha-galactosidase, beta-glucuronidase, H2S production, nitrate reduction,
pyrrolidonyl arylamidase, starch hydrolysis, urease, Voges-Proskauer test, acid production from: glycogen, lactose, mannitol & xylose.
