Antigenically they form a single group divisible into two types. No antigenic relationship to known Moraxella species could be demonstrated. The organisms appear to be natural parasites of the guinea pig. No similar organisms were isolated from a small number of wild house mice examined., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/micro/10.1099/00221287-35-3-361
