isolated from the normal faecal flora, blood, intra-abdominal pus and infected soft tissues in humans.
Morphology
Cells are straight or slightly curved rods (2-10 µm long), and occur singly or in pairs. Some cells are fusiform. Colonies are minute, circular, convex, grey or white, smooth, non-haemolytic on sheep blood agar.
