Gamma Proteobacteria

The most diverse class of gram-negative bacteria is Gammaproteobacteria, and it includes a number of human pathogens. For example, a large and diverse family, Pseudomonaceae, includes the genus Pseudomonas. Within this genus is the species P. aeruginosa, a pathogen responsible for diverse infections in various regions of the body.

P. aeruginosa is a strictly aerobic, nonfermenting, highly motile bacterium. It often infects wounds and burns, can be the cause of chronic urinary tract infections, and can be an important cause of respiratory infections in patients with cystic fibrosis or patients on mechanical ventilators. Infections by P. aeruginosa are often difficult to treat because the bacterium is resistant to many antibiotics and has a remarkable ability to form biofilms.

PSEUDOMONAS PELI

Class:	Gamma Proteobacteria
Genus:	Pseudomonas
Species:	Pseudomonas peli
Description:	After 24 h incubation at 28°C on TSA, colonies are 1–2 mm, smooth, round with irregular edges and beige to yellow. Cells are rod-shaped (1μm wide and 2–3μm long)with rounded ends, Gram-negative, non-spore-forming and non-fluorescent. Cells are motile and oxidase- and catalase-positive. After 24 h, good growth is observed at 28–37°C, but not below 20°C or above 45°C. No anaerobic growth is observed.
