Banded archerfish colourations, such as yellow, have been observed. Four to six broad black bars may be present on the dorsal side. The first bar is found anterior to the operculum, the bony plate covering the gills, and the second is found behind the operculum. The third bar is found below the origin of the dorsal fin, the fourth bar below the soft dorsal, and the fifth (if any) on the area between the anal fin and caudal fin (caudal peduncle).

The treatment of choice for HACEK organisms in endocarditis is the third generation cephalosporin and β-Lactam antibiotic ceftriaxone. Ampicillin (a penicillin), combined with low-dose gentamicin (an aminoglycoside) is another therapeutic option.

HACEK is an abbreviation of the initials of the genera of this group of bacteria: "Haemophilus", "Aggregatibacter" (previously "Actinobacillus"), "Cardiobacterium", "Eikenella", "Kingella".
