According to Gaillot et al. (2013), Pasteurella lymphangitidis is a later heterotypic
synonym of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis.
Gram-negative, coccobacillary cells.
Colonies are nonhemolytic and V-factor independent.
Growth on MacConkey is variable.
First isolated from lymphangitis in Bos indicus.
Unknown.
