Bacteroidetes / Flavobacteriia / Flavobacteriales / Flavobacteriaceae / Wautersiella

Rods, 0.5–1.0 × 2.0–3.0 μm, with rounded ends. Nonmotile. Gram-stain-negative. Aerobic, having a strictly respiratory type of metabolism with oxygen as the terminal electron acceptor. Oxidase- and catalase-positive. Colonies on blood agar at 37°C are circular, entire, slightly convex, smooth, glistening, and pale beige. Some strains display yellow-pigmented colonies. The major cellular fatty acids are C_15:0 iso and summed feature 4 (C_15:0 iso 2-OH and/or C_16:1 ω7t). The hydroxy acids include the hydroxylated fatty acids C_15:0 iso 3-OH and C_17:0 iso 3-OH. Isolated from clinical specimens.

DNA G+C content (mol%): 33.8–34.4.

Type species: Wautersiella falsenii Kämpfer, Avesani, Janssens, Charlier, De Baere and Vaneechoutte 2006, 2328^VP.
