| Characterization | Group A (n = 63)∗ | Group B (n = 37)∗∗ |
|---|---|---|
| Gram-staining | Gram-negative | Gram-negative |
| Catalase activity | Positive | Positive |
| Oxidase activity | Negative | Negative |
| Urease activity | Negative | Positive |
| Citrate utilization test | Negative | Positive |
