Gram-negative rods 1-2 x 4-5 µm. Motile. Non-spore-forming.
Colonies are translucent and bright. Growth occurs in the range of 0-15 % (w/v) NaCl
and at pH 5.0-10.0 in TSB. Facultatively anaerobic.
and at pH 5.0-10.0 in TSB. Facultatively anaerobic.
Isolated from aquatic samples (water well, fountain, borehole), feed, catheter tip and human urine in different countries.
Some isolates were associated with human disease.
