turicensis Bosshard, Zbinden and Altwegg, 2002.
Description is based on a single isolate.
Gram-positive, motile rods, 0.5-1.0 x 1.5-3.0 µm. Spore is oval, located terminally /
subterminally, swelling the sporangium.
subterminally, swelling the sporangium.
Colonies are non-haemolytic, greyish-white with a convex elevation. Aerobic and
anaerobic growth. Growth temperature 15-48 ºC, optimum 37-42 ºC. Can grow in 2%
and 5% NaCl, but not in 7% NaCl media. Grows at pH 5.5-9.5, optimum pH 7.

The strain was isolated from the valve of a cerebrospinal fluid shunt of a 48-year-old man with hydrocephalus that he developed
after an accident. Resistant to lysozyme 0.1 and 0.001%.

and does not have clinical significance.
