Overview

  • Pseudomonas weihenstephanensis is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, aerobic, motile, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 57.3%. Pseudomonas weihenstephanensis is likely to be transient and not a long-term gut coloniser.



  • This organism has been recovered from raw cow’s milk. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. Likely to be transient and not a long-term gut commensal.
    • QUIRKS
  • Maximum growth temperature of 33C suggests this is an unlikely gut coloniser.
