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 POHANGENSIS

Class:	Gamma Proteobacteria
Genus:	Pseudomonas
Species:	Pseudomonas pohangensis
Description:	Cells are Gram-negative, non-motile, non-spore-forming rods approximately 0.6–0.8 x 1.5–3.0μm in size. Colonies are irregular and cream-coloured after 48 h on MA. Cells are non-fluorescent on King A and B media. Catalase- and oxidase-positive. Growth occurs at temperatures of 4–35°C (optimum 25–30°C), pH 5–9 (optimum pH 7–8) and at NaCl concentrations of up to 3.0 % (optimum 1.0 %).
