Gram-negative rods, 0.7-1.2 x 0.9-1.4 µm. Non-motile. Non-spore-froming.
Colonies on blood agar base medium with serum and nicotinamide adenine
dinucleotide are white, convex and around 2mm after overnight incubation at
37°C in air. On 5% sheep blood agar, the organism is NAD-dependent and
non-haemolytic. CAMP test negative.
Isolated from the lungs of pigs.
Isolated from the lungs of clinically sick pigs as well as from lesions in the lungs of slaughter pigs.
