PSEUDOMONAS STUTZERI
| Class: | Gamma Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Pseudomonas |
| Species: | Pseudomonas stutzeri |
| Description: | Pseudomonas stutzeri is a nonfluorescent denitrifying bacterium widely distributed in the environment. The Pseudomonas stutzeri species possesses a high degree of phenotypic and genotypicheterogeneity. |
| Synonyms: | |
| Source: | widely distributed in the environment, and it has also been isolated as an opportunistic pathogen from humans. |
| Pathogenicity: | A few cases of P. stutzeri infection have been reported in association with bacteremia/septicemia,bone infection, i.e., fracture infection, joint infection, osteomyelitis, and arthritis,endocarditis; eye infection, i.e., endophthalmitis and panophthalmitis; meningitis; pneumonia and/or empyema, skin infection, i.e., ecthyma gangrenosum; urinary tract infection; and ventriculitis. Only two of the above cases resulted in death. This reflects P. stutzeri's relatively low degree of virulence. |
