Gram-negative, slender and slightly curved cells, 0.2 x 2-3 μm. Motile by a single
nonsheathed flagellum at one end. Non-spore-forming.

On trypticase soy agar plates with 5% sheep blood appear as small pinpoint
colonies. Grows microaerobically at 37 ºC and 42 ºC, but not at 25 ºC. Grows in 1%
glycine and TTC. No growth in 1% bile and 2% NaCl.
