Gram-negative cells. Non-motile.
Colonies are circular, with an entire edge, buttery consistency, 1-2 mm in diameter and
non-haemolytic after 24 h of incubation at 37 ºC on bovine blood agar. Pigment is not
produced. Synthesize porphyrin without X factor requirement. Requires NAD (V-factor)
for growth.
Isolated from rats.
Undetermined.
