Gram-negative rods. Motile by means of peritrichous flagella. Nonsporulating.
Two distinct colony types occur. Some strains produce round, raised, glistening,
grayish colonies about 1-2 mm in diameter after 48 h of incubation at 37 ºC in air
containing 5% CO2. Under the same conditions other strains produce flat, dry, crinkled
colonies that are up to 5 mm in diameter. Nonhaemolytic on horse blood agar.
Optimum temperature is 35-37 ºC. Can grow at 25 and 42 ºC. Pigment is not produced.
Not haemolytic on Sheep Blood Agar.
B. hinzii grows on Blood agar, MacConkey agar, Simmons citrate agar, Salmonella-
Shigella agar, nutrient broth with 0 to 6% NaCl. No growth on cetrimide agar.

B. hinzii was isolated from respiratory tracts of turkeys and chickens, blood and sputum specimens from humans.
B. pseudohinzii was isolated from laboratory mice.
B. pseudohinzii was isolated from laboratory mice.
Bordetella hinzii is pathogenic in humans. Experimental infections in turkey poults and 1-day-old chickens have shown that B. hinzii
is nonpathogenic.

Positive results for alkaline phosphatase, catalase, ester C8 lipase, oxidase, naphthol-AS-BI-phosphohydrolase and tetrazolium
reduction. Can utilize: adipate, malate, citrate, esculin, pyruvate, phenylacetate, alpha-ketoglutarate, succinate, malate, oxaloacetate,
acetate, butyrate, D-/L-alpha-glycerol-phosphate, D-glucosamine, D-saccharic acid, L-lyxose, monomethyl succinate, D- and L-
alanine, D-aspartic acid, glycyl-Laspartic acid, glycyl-L-glutamic acid, glycyl-L-proline, L-alaninamide, L-alanyl-glycine, L-asparagine,
L-aspartic acid, L-glutamic acid, L-glutamine, L-leucine, L-ornithine, L-phenylalanine, L-proline, L-serine and L-threonine.
Negative results for arginine dihydrolase, esculin hydrolysis, gelatin liquefaction, beta-galactosidase, indole production, lipase C14,
lysine decarboxylase, nitrates reduction, denitrification, trypsin, chymotrypsin, acid production from glucose.
No utilization of: adonitol, amygdalin, arbutin, arabitol, cellobiose, dulcitol, erythritol, fumarate, galactose, gentiobiose, glycogen, D-
glucose, gluconate, 5-ketogluconate, glycerol, inositol, inulin, L-lysine, lactose, L-methionine, melibiose, melezitose, D-mannitol,
maltose, D-malonate, mannose, mucic acid, N-acetylglucosamine, oxalic acid, propionic acid, quinic acid, rhamnose, methyl alpha-D-
glucoside, methyl beta-D-xyloside, psicose, raffinose, sorbitol, salicin, saccharose, starch, tagatose, trehalose, valeric acid, xylitol
and L-xylose.
Variable results for urease (usually negative) and assimilation of caprate (usually positive). Contradictory results for the assimilation
of D-ribose, D-xylose, D- and L-arabinose.
Bordetella pseudohinzii can be differentiated from Bordetella hinzii by assimilation of D-tartaric acid and no assimilation of D-
galactonic acid lactone.
