ACTINOBACILLUS SEMINIS
| Class: | Gamma Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Actinobacillus |
| Species: | Actinobacillus seminis |
| Description: | Cells are small nonmotile bacilli and coccobacilli that are often >2μm long. Gram reaction is negative. Endospores are not formed. Growth is aerobic and facultatively anaerobic, mesophilic, often requiring 5% CO₂, on first isolation. Surface colonies grown aerobically on sheep blood agar are round, greyish, semitransparent, about 1 mm in diameter after 48h at 37°C, and without hemolysis but sometimes with greening of the erythrocytes. |
