Gram-negative rods. Non-motile, non-gas-producing, non-spore-forming.
Colonies on MacConkey and BHI agar after 24 h of incubation at 37 ºC are white or
yellow, translucent, circular, glossy, convex, glistening, with entire margins. Growth
occurs at 20-39 ºC (optimally at 35-37 ºC), but not at 4, 42 or 46 ºC. Growth occurs at
pH 5.0-10.0 (optimally at pH 6.0-7.0) and in the presence of 0-6% (w/v) NaCl in TSB.
Facultatively anaerobic.
