Achromobacter xylosoxidans (formerly Alcaligenes xylosoxidans) is a Gram-negative, aerobic, oxidase and catalase-positive, motile bacterium with peritrichous flagella, from the genus Achromobacter. It is generally found in wet environments. Achromobacter xylosoxidans can cause infections such as bacteremia,[3][4] especially in patients with cystic fibrosis.[5] In 2013, the complete genome of an A. xylosoxidans strain from a patient with cystic fibrosis was sequenced.[6]
