Gram-negative rods, 0.75 x 1.5-5.5 µm. Motile. Non-spore-forming.
Colonies are beige, smooth, round, about 0.5–1.0 mm in diameter after incubation at
25 ºC for 24 h on TSG. Fluorescent pigment is produced on King B agar. No
pyocyanin is formed on King A agar. Haemolysis can be detected. Grows at 4-35 ºC
(optimum growth temperature is 27-31 ºC), at pH 5-8 (optimum pH 6.0-7.5) and in 0-
6% NaCl (w/v) (optimum 0-1% NaCl). Growth can be detected on R2A agar and
cetrimide agar. Proteolytic activity on skimmed milk agar at both 25 and 4 ºC. Aerobic,
no anaerobic growth. Grows on MacConkey agar.
Isolated from raw bovine milk and poultry feces.
Undetermined.
