Gram-negative rods, ing 0.5-1.0 x 2.0-2.5 µm. Motile by single polar flagellum.
Non-spore-forming.
Colonies on TSA are circular, convex, creamy and usually 0.5-2.5 mm in diameter
after 2 days incubation at 30 ºC. Produces fluorescent pigments on King’s B agar.
Grows at 4-40 ºC and in the presence of 0-5.5% (w/v) NaCl. Aerobic.
Isolated from stool samples of male and female patients hospitalized with diarrhoea in Okinawa, Japan. Another strain was isolated
from a urine sample of a patient hospitalized with a suspected urinary tract infection in Mandalay, Myanmar.
Former
P. shirazica type strain was isolated from bean rhizosphere.
Isolated from patients with diarrhoea and suspected urinary infection.
