PASTEURELLA ORALIS
| Class: | Gamma Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Pasteurella |
| Species: | Pasteurella oralis |
| Description: | On blood agar, colonies are circular, slightly raised and regular with an entire margin. The surface of the colonies is smooth, shiny and opaque with a greyish tinge. Colonies demonstrate a diameter of approximately 1.5 mm after aerobic incubation for 24 h at 37°C. The consistency of the colonies is unguent-like and colonies do not adhere to the agar. All isolates are both non-haemolytic and CAMP-negative. Non-symbiotic growth is observed and isolates are positive in the porphyrin test. Cells are coccobacilli to rod-shaped and stain Gram-negative. Cells are non-motile at both 22 and 37°C. |
