Gram-negative rods, 1.0 x 2.0 μm. Motile. Non-spore-forming.
Colonies on nutrient agar, incubated 24h at 30 ºC, are cream–white, about 5 mm in
diameter. Good growth occurs after on NA, BHI agar, TSA, R2A agar (all Oxoid) and
MacConkey agar (Oxoid). Growth occurs on TSA at 4-45 ºC, but not below 4 or at 50
ºC. Grows at pH 5.5 to 9.5 and in the presence of 0-6% (w/v) NaCl, not at 4% NaCl.
Facultatively anaerobic.
