Gram-negative rod-shaped or pleomorphic cells, usually bipolar, occur singly or in pairs. Non-motile.
Colonies on bovine-blood agar are haemolytic, greyish, non-transparent but translucent at the periphery, smooth and shiny, with a
butyrous, circular, raised with entire margin and 1-2 mm in diameter after 24-48 h at 37 ºC. Facultative anaerobic or microaerophilic.
Pigment is not formed. No V-factor requirement. Growth on MacConkey is variable.

Isolated from chickens and pigeons.
Negative in symbiotic growth.
These bacteria seem to be part of the normal upper-respiratory tract flora of chickens,
but are also associated with pathological lesions, including salpingitis, peritonitis,
septicaemia, pericarditis, hepatitis, respiratory tract lesions and enteritis.
