Morphology Pasteurella
CELLULAR  
Staining Gram-negative Not acid-fast Bipolar staining is common, especially in preparations made from infected animal tissues.
Morphology Cells spherical, ovoid or rod shaped, 0.3-1.0 um in diameter and 1.0-2.0 um in length. Occur singly or less frequently in pairs or short chains..
Motility Nonmotile
Specialized structures Resting stages are not formed..

Growth Parameters Pasteurella
PHYSIOLOGICAL  
Tropism  
Oxygen Facultatively anaerobic, having a fermentative type of metabolism
pH  
Temperature Temperature range for growth, 22-44`C; optimum, 37`C
Requirements  
Products Nitrates are reduced to nitrites.. Methyl red- and Voges-Proskauer-negative
Enzymes Catalase-positive; almost always oxidase-positive Gelatinase-negative Lysine and arginine decarboxylase are not produced Glucose and other fermentable compounds are fermented with the production of acid but usually no gas.
Unique features
