O. aureus

Ornithinibacter is a genus of Gram positive, nonmotile, non-sporeforming bacteria. The bacteria are strictly aerobic and mesophilic. Cells of the genus are irregular rods that form branching hyphae. The genus name refers to L-Ornithine, the major diagnostic diamino acid in the peptidoglycan.[1] The genus is monospecific, with O. aureus as the only species.[2]
