Gr. n <i>zoon</i>, an animal; Gr. neut. n. <i>helkos</i>, a wound; N.L. gen. pl. n. <i>zoohelcum</i>, of animal wounds, because strains are isolated from cat and dog bites and scratches.
Ecology
Source
isolated from oral uids and gingival scrapings of dogs and human wounds caused by cat and dog bites/scratches. The type strain isolated from human sputum, in Nebraska, USA.
Morphology
Cells are non-motile, non-endospore-forming rods with parallel sides and rounded ends (0.6 × 2-3 µm). Colonies are circular (0.5-2 mm), low convex, smooth, and shiny with entire edges.
