Synonym: Bisgaard taxon 16.
Gram-negative, pleomorphic straight or curved rods. Non-motile.
After 24 h of aerobic incubation at 37 ºC on TSA plates the colonies are 1.5-2 mm in
diameter with circular, slightly raised and regular shape, smooth, shiny and opaque
with grayish or rarely yellowish tinge. No adherence to the agar. Non-haemolytic, but
CAMP-positive (
Staphylococcus aureus). No exogenous V-factor (beta-NAD) or

Positive results for catalase, indole production, oxidase, phosphatase, acid production from: D(-) arabinose, dextrin, D(-) fructose,
