Synonyms:
Rodentibacter heylii Adhikary et al. 2017, Pasteurella caecimuris Lagkouvardos et al. 2016.
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. Synthesize
porphyrin without X factor requirement. Some isolates require NAD (V-factor) for
growth, but not the type strain. Cannot grow with KCN. No growth on MacConkey agar
(type strain can grow).
Isolated from mice and some from other rodents such as rats, Syrian and Dsungarian hamster, Mastomys and guinea pig, when
these animals are housed with mice.
Undetermined.
