Gram-negative, small rods, 0.2-2.4 µm, non-motile, non-sporulated.
Colonies are translucent to grayish and smooth on chocolate agar; some isolates
grow poorly on chocolate agar (0.2 mm in diameter), others grow readily (0.6 mm).
Hemolysis is negative. V-factor dependent growth.

Isolated from the upper respiratory tracts of pigs, where they constitute part of the residing mucosal flora.
Is not pathogenic to pigs and have a low potential for colonization of the upper respiratory tract of gnotobiotic piglets.
