Gram-negative, pleomorphic rods, nonmmotile.
Colonies on CSBA are circular, entire, low convex, smooth, grey and attain a diameter
of 0.5 mm after 48 h aerobic incubation at 37 ºC. Nonhemolytic. Growth is poor or
absent on media without blood or serum. No growth on MacConkey agar. Neither X
nor V factors are required for growth.
Growth occurs at 22 ºC but not at 42 ºC. Facultatively anaerobic.

Negative results for catalase, arginine dihydrolase, ornithine decarboxylase,lysine decarboxylase, urease, indole, acid production
from: adonitol, dulcitol, galactose, inositol, inulin, lactose, maltose, mannitol, mannose, melibiose, raffinose, rhamnose, salicin,
sorbitol, sucrose, trehalose, and xylose.
