Gram-negative, nonmotile, small rods and coccobacilli .
Colonies are regular, smooth, and graysh on blood agar; 1-2 mm. in diameter
Most strains show a characteristic β-hemolysis on bovine blood agar
Strains are V-factor independent and X-factor independent. Growth on MacConkey is
variable.
Growth is mesophilic and facultative anaerobic.
Present in nasopharynx and tonsils (almonds) of sheep & goat and in the intestine of
chicken & turkey.
Pneumonia in cattle and sheep, mastitis in sheep, septicaemia in lambs. Rarely human infections after animal contact.
Potential virulence factors are the polysaccharide capsule, LPS, neuraminidase, transferring binding proteins, sialoglycoprotease,
leucotoxin.
