Bis.gaar'di.a. N.L. fem. n. Bisgaardia to honour Magne Bisgaard, a contemporary Danish microbiologist, for his conribution to the taxonomy of the family Pasteurellaceae.

Proteobacteria / Gammaproteobacteria / Pasteurellales / Pasteurellaceae / Bisgaardia

Cells rod-shaped, 0.2–0.5 × 0.5–1.0 μm. Occasional longer forms occur. Some cells demonstrate bipolar staining. Gram-negative. Nonmotile. Facultative anaerobes. Optimum temperature for growth, 37°C. Do not require X or V factors for growth. No growth occurs on MacConkey agar. Catalase positive, oxidase positive. Nitrates are reduced to nitrites. Voges–Proskauer negative. Arginine dihydrolase, ornithine decarboxylase, lysine decarboxylase, urease, and indole are not produced. Acid produced from glucose. Isolated from pinnipeds.

DNA G + C content (mol%): 33.6 (T_m).

Type species: Bisgaardia hudsonensis Foster et al. 2011^VP.
