Only six of the 42 strains were able to grow on horse-blood agar. All strains gave a positive oxidase test with tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine and a negative result with dimethyl-p-phenylenediamine. All of 15 test strains were negative in the porphyrin test. Tests for haemin requirement were inconclusive because of difficulties encountered in obtaining growth on a basal medium., language=, type=
