Gram-negative, short rods, 1-1.5 x 2 µm. Swarming motility. Non-spore-forming.
Colonies are white, rounded, mucoid and 1-2 mm in diameter after 24 h of growth at
30 ºC on LB agar plates. Grows on LB agar, MacConkey agar, Columbia blood
agar, MM blood agar and M9 agar at 25-37 ºC.
Isolated from serous fluid from a wound on the hand of a 71-year-old patient in the USA.
Undetermined.
