Gram-negative, straight rods. Motile.
After 3 days incubation at 37 ºC on blood agar, the colonies are smooth, translucent,
with convex centres and entire margins. Two types of colonies are observed: small,
pinpoint colonies (1 mm in diameter) and flat spreading colonies (1-3 mm in
diameter). No haemolysis on blood agar. Grows on blood agar at 37 ºC under
anaerobic and microaerobic (weaker growth), but not aerobic conditions. Strains do
not require H2 to grow, but will grow in its presence. Strains grow anaerobically at 42
ºC and 25 ºC but not at 15 ºC. Do not grow on MacConkey agar and growth on
unsupplemented nutrient agar is weak.
Strains grow on blood agar medium supplemented with nalidixic acid, 2% NaCl, 1%
glycine and 1% bile. No growth is observed on media containing 0.04 % 2,3,
5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride and cefoperazone. Variable resistance to
metronidazole and ciprofloxacin.

Positive results for alkaline phosphatase, catalase, H2S production (TSI), oxidase and urea hydrolysis.
Negative results for gelatinase and hippurate hydolysis.
Variable results for indoxyl acetate hydrolysis and nitrate reduction.
