Pseudomonas is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria belonging to the family Pseudomonadaceae in the class Gammaproteobacteria.The 348 members of the genus [2] [3] demonstrate a great deal of metabolic diversity and consequently are able to colonize a wide range of niches and hosts.
Pseudomonas luteola is a Gram-negative, motile aerobe. Its motility is created by multitrichous flagella. They grow as rods of 0.8 μm to 2.5 μm. [2] Colonies produce a yellow-orange pigment. Optimal temperature for growth is 30 °C. Importantly for classification, it grows best on heart infusion agar supplemented with 5% horse blood. [3]
Pseudomonas is also a common cause of postoperative infection in radial keratotomy surgery patients. The organism is also associated with the skin lesion ecthyma gangrenosum . P. aeruginosa is frequently associated with osteomyelitis involving puncture wounds of the foot, believed to result from direct inoculation with P. aeruginosa via the ...
Pseudomonas gessardii bacteria are currently used in many industrial processes. Examples of these applications include bioremediation of contaminated industrial sites through degradation of naphthalene and biological reduction of chromium for its removal from the environment, [3] production of lipase active in low pH conditions used in the food, leather and medical industries [5] </ref> and ...
Among these are Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which has a grape-like scent; Staphylococcus aureus, which is said to smell like old socks; and Proteus mirabilis, whose scent is alternately described as putrid [1]: 168 or like chocolate cake. [7]: 124 Other distinctive features of colonial morphology include motility and the production of pigments.
Pseudomonas infection refers to a disease caused by one of the species of the genus Pseudomonas. P. aeruginosa is a germ found in the environment and it is an opportunistic human pathogen most commonly infecting immunocompromised patients, such as those with cancer , diabetes , cystic fibrosis , [ 1 ] severe burns, AIDS , [ 2 ] or people who ...
Pseudomonas cedrina is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium isolated from spring waters in Lebanon. [1] Based on 16S rRNA analysis, P. cedrina has been placed in the P. fluorescens group. [ 2 ]
Pseudomonas syringae is a rod-shaped, Gram-negative bacterium with polar flagella. As a plant pathogen , it can infect a wide range of species, and exists as over 50 different pathovars , [ 2 ] all of which are available to researchers from international culture collections such as the NCPPB , ICMP , and others.
