isolated from a culture of blood from a febrile patient with common variable immunodeficiency.
Morphology
Cells are non-spore-forming, straight rods (1.0 × 3.0 µm). Occasionally, filamentous cells are formed in old cultures and are especially formed at 37°C. A single polar flagellum is formed on each cell. The organism is actively motile, especially in young cultures. It is strictly aerobic and forms straw-colored colonies. It has a tendency to form flocs and films in liquid medium without finger-like projections.
