Gram-negative coccobacilli or rods, occasionally short filaments.
Colonies on chocolate agar incubated in air supplemented with 10% CO2 are high
convex, granular, yellowish, opaque, 1.0-1.5 mm in diameter within 24 hours; without
CO2 , the growth is characteristically stunted, with very small colonies interspersed
with a few larger colonies. Beta-hemolysis is produced.
Aerobic, facultatively anaerobic, require V-factor but not X-factor for growth. Require
CO2 enriched atmosphere. Growth on Mac Conkey agar is negative.

Bacteria has been isolated from human sore throats, ulcers of the mouth, sputum and urethral discharge of adult males.
