Mutters, Ihm, Pohl, Frederiksen and Mannheim 1985.
Non-motile, Gram-negative, coccoid or short rods.
Non-hemolytic, smooth and grayish white colonies.  V-factor independent growth.
Optimum temperature 36 ºC. Does not grow on MacConkey agar.
Isolated from dogs, cats and from human local infections resulting from animal bites and from pneumonia, septicaemia and
endocarditis.
It is a part of the oral flora of dogs and cats and is associated with human local infections.
