Gram-negative, spiral or S-shaped cells, 2.1-2.5 µm. Fresh cells are motile and have
long bipolar single flagella.
After 48 h of growth on Karmali or Columbia agar with 5% defibrinated sheep blood in
a microaerophilic atmosphere at 37 ºC. The colonies are wet, flat, gray, circular, and
smooth, with sizes between 1.0 and 1.3 mm after 2 days of growth, but they may vary
in size and morphology after a long incubation. No hemolysis on blood agar.
Isolated from the feces of sheep in Beijing, China. Resistant to nalidixic acid and sensitive to erythromycin, azithromycin, gentamicin,
streptomycin, chloramphenicol, florfenicol, tetracycline, telithromycin, and clindamycin.
Undetermined.
