Gram negative, small rods, motile by a single polar flagellum.
Can grow in nutrient broth with: 1%, 6% & 8% (var.) NaCl. No growth in 0%, 10% &
12% NaCl. Growth occur at 30 & 35 °C. No growth at 4 or 40 °C.
Grow on blood agar. Poor growth on TCBS (selective media : thiosulfate-citrate-bile
salts-sucrose agar).
Isolated from human clinical specimens. Resoisant to O/129 vibriostatic agent 10 µg (sensible to 150 µg).
Rarely isolated from human blood and cerebral spinal fluid.
