Gram-negative cells. Non-motile.
Colonies are grey, 2 mm in diameter and beta-haemolytic after 24 h aerobic
incubation at 37 ºC on sheep blood agar. Optimum growth occurs at 30–37 ºC, range
20-40 ºC. NAD (V-factor) is not required for growth. No growth on MacConkey agar.
Facultatively anaerobic.
Isolated from laboratory mouse, laboratory rats and a Syrian hamster.
Undetermined.
