Gram-negative rods, 0.9-1.7 x 2.5-4.7 µm. Motile by one polar flagellum.
Non-spore-forming.
Colonies are 1.0-2.0mm in diameter, smooth, beige, shining and round after
incubation at 30 ºC for 24h on TSA. Beta-haemolysis is not produced on Columbia
agar supplemented with 5% sheep blood. Grows on R2A agar and under anaerobic
conditions but not on cetrimide agar. Fluorescent pigments are not produced on King
A and B. Grows at temperatures between 4-30 ºC (optimum 20-25 ºC), at pH values
6.0-8.0 (optimum pH 6.5-7.5) and in the presence of 0-4% (w/v) NaCl (optimum
0.5-1.0%).
Isolated from raw cow's milk in Germany.
Undetermined.
