Gram-negative, nonmotile, small rods or coccobacilli.
Colonies are regular, smooth, and graysh on blood agar; 1-2 mm in diameter. Most
strains are hemolytic on bovine blood agar. Growth on MacConkey is negative.

Strains of M. varigena have been isolated from ruminants (oral cavity, rumen and intestines, and from pneumonia, mastitis, and
septicemia in cattle) and pigs (upper respiratory tract, and some isolates have been associated with septicemia, enteritis and
pneumonia)

Strains of M. varigena have been isolated from pneumonia, mastitis, and septicemia in cattle.
Biovar 2 was isolated from pigs; isolates from pigs have been associated with septicemia, enteritis and pneumonia.
The type strain was isolated from a bovine with pneumonia.
