Species "Incertae Sedis“; DNA hybridization show low degrees of relatedness with

Pasteurella sensu stricto (Mutters et al., 1985).
Coccobacillary cells.
Colonies are nonhemolytic and V-factor independent.
Growth on MacConkey is variable.
Isolated from pigs.
Isolated from abortion in pigs and from septicemia in piglets.
