Scope note: Género de pequeños bacilos rectos, gramnegativos, facultativamente anaerobios, quimioorganitróficos y generalmente móviles debido a la presencia de flagelos peritricosos. Miembros de este género suelen encontrarse en el intestino de animales de sangre fría y en las aguas dulces. Son patógenos para las anguilas, los BAGRES y otros animales y, con escasa frecuencia, son patógenos oportunistas para el hombre (Bergey's Manual of Deerminative Bacteriology, 9th ed)
