Overview

  • Pseudomonas citronellolis is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, aerobic, motile, rod-shaped bacterium. Pseudomonas citronellolis is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Lang2007; Seubert1960; Palleroni2005bBergey)



  • This organism has been recovered from human appendix (CCUG), human rectum, clinical sources (blood - CCUG) and soil. The risk classification (www.baua.de) for this organism is 1, i.e., low risk of infection and spread. Could be a possible pathogen in humans, but unknown at this stage. A possible gut commensal.
