Gram-negative rods. Motile.
Colonies on nutritive agar are round, 2-3 mm in diameter, and slightly iridescent or
flat with irregular edges, nonpigmented. Incubation temperature 30-37 ºC. Can grow
at 41 ºC, but not at 4 ºC. Grows on simple media and on selective media for
Enterobacteriaceae. Facultatively anaerobic.
