Delftia tsuruhatensis is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped, catalase- and oxidase-positive, motile bacterium from the Comamonadaceae family. It was first isolated from a wastewater treatment plant in Japan in 2003.[3] D. tsuruhatensis is an opportunistic and emergent pathogen.[4] All documented human infections are healthcare-associated.[4][5][6]
