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.

PSYCHROBACTER CICONIAE

Class:	Gamma Proteobacteria
Genus:	Psychrobacter
Species:	Psychrobacter ciconiae
Description:	Cells are Gram-stain-negative. They are non-motile, non-spore-forming rods, approximately 1μm in width and 2μm in length. Aerobic, oxidase-positive, catalase-positive.Good growth occurs after 48 h on TS, brain heart infusion agar, NA and R2A agar, but not at all (or very weakly) on MacConkey agar at 37°C.
