Overview

  • Pseudomonas asiatica is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, aerobic, motile, rod-shaped bacterium. The DNA G+C content is 62.3%. Pseudomonas asiatica is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Tohya2019)



  • This organism has been recovered from human faeces (Tohya2019). Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
