It is a facultative anaerobic Gram-positive rod-shaped bacterium. Strain Marseille-P3248 t exhibits 94.73% sequence similarity with Arcanobacterium pluranimalium strain M430/94/2, a phylogenetically related species with standing in nomenclature. Its genome size is 1 667 964 bp with 49.1% G + C content. Strain Marseille-P3248 t (= CSURP3248) is the type strain of the new species Arcanobacterium urinimassiliense sp. nov
