A rather large irregularly staining bacillus, 0.7-3.0 µm. Metachromatic granules are
present. Fimbriae are present. Nonmotile.
present. Fimbriae are present. Nonmotile.
Dry, granular, cream to pale yellow colonies on nutrient or blood agar; growth not
improved by blood, but yellow pigment may be more marked. Hemolysis is not
produced. CAMP reaction is positive. Aerobic, facultative anaerobic.
