Overview

  • Pseudomonas mendocina is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, aerobic, motile, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 2 gut microbiome compilation studies or metastudies. The DNA G+C content is 62.8-64.3%. Pseudomonas mendocina is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Palleroni2005bBergey)



  • This organism has been recovered from soil and water; clinical specimens. The risk classification (www.baua.de) for this organism is 2, i.e., risk of individual infection, but low risk of spread. It is an opportunistic pathogen. A possible gut commensal.
