“…Many microbial isolates in these genera were recognized as oil-degrading microorganisms by earlier researchers, such as Muthukumar et al (2003), Chaerun et al (2004), Al-Awadhi et al (2007) and Quatrini et al (2008). The presence of various crude oildegrading microorganisms corresponded to the contamination of petroleum hydrocarbons in Thai coastal areas (Wattayakorn, 2005).…”

“…The other groups were present in at least two samples, with the exception of members of the P. oleovorans group, which were found in only one sample. P. aeruginosa has been proposed as an abundant species in marine environments (17), and this species was the most abundant hydrocarbon-degrading bacterium found in the bioremediation of the Nakhodka oil spill in the Japan Sea (8). However, we did not isolate strains ascribed to this species in the samples examined, and no rpoD clones related to P. aeruginosa were detected.…”

The Galicia seashore, in northwestern Spain, was one of the shorelines affected by the Prestige oil spill in November 2002. The diversity of autochthonous Pseudomonas populations present at two beaches (Carnota municipality) was analyzed using culture-independent and culture-dependent methods. The first analysis involved the screening of an rpoD gene library. The second involved the isolation of 94 Pseudomonas strains that were able to grow on selective media by direct plating or after serial enrichments on several carbon sources: biphenyl, gentisate, hexadecane, methylnaphthalene, naphthalene, phenanthrene, salicylate, xylene, and succinate. Eight denitrifying Pseudomonas strains were also isolated by their ability to grow anaerobically with nitrate. The calculated coverage index for Pseudomonas species was 89% when clones and isolates were considered together, and there were 29 phylospecies detected. The most abundant were members of the species P. stutzeri, P. putida, P. anguilliseptica, and P. oleovorans. Thirty-one isolates could not be identified at the species level and were considered representatives of 16 putative novel Pseudomonas species. One isolate was considered representative of a novel P. stutzeri genomovar. Concordant results were obtained when the diversities of the cloned DNA library and the cultured strains were compared. The clone library obtained by the rpoD PCR method was a useful tool for evaluating Pseudomonas communities and also for microdiversity studies of Pseudomonas populations.

“…Other studies indicated that, pathogenic bacteria such as P. aeruginosa able to utilize crude oil can be isolated from the environment (Chaerun et al, [11]; Hasanuzzaman et al, [12]). However, none of the medical strains grew in the presence of crude oil.…”

Deliberate and accidental releases of opportunistic pathogens such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa into the environment increase the likelihood of spreading infectious diseases. Also, P. aeruginosa is responsible for nosocomial infections and usually harbour several antibiotic resistance genes. In the present study total of 76 strains of P. aeruginosa were characterized (54 strains were isolated from soil samples collected from a crude oil contaminated site located north of Kuwait and 22 strains were isolated from medical samples). Whereas the phenotypic characterization such as the biochemical tests using VITEK 2 system (bioMérieux) and antibiotics susceptibility testing (AST) showed the high similarity between the medical and the environmental strains, the molecular analyses based on multilocus sequence typing (MLST) and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) demonstrated the heterogeneity of isolated P. aeruginosa indicating the presence of different clusters. Comparison of fingerprints obtained, confirmed the negative correlation between the environmental and the medical strains. In addition, results demonstrated that environmental strains are better adapted to crude oil contaminated sites. However, environmental strains may represent hidden reservoirs for pathogenic traits that may disseminate to other bacteria in the environment.
