Pseudomonas stutzeri is a Gram-negative soil bacterium that is motile, has a single polar flagellum, and is classified as bacillus, or rod-shaped.[1][2] While this bacterium was first isolated from human spinal fluid,[3] it has since been found in many different environments due to its various characteristics and metabolic capabilities.[4] P. stutzeri is an opportunistic pathogen in clinical settings, although infections are rare.[3] Based on 16S rRNA analysis, this bacterium has been placed in the P. stutzeri group, to which it lends its name.[5]
