“…Strains of P. putida and P. fluorescens are very common environmental contaminants and these organisms are rarely pathogenic for humans, even though they have been found associated with urinary tract infections, septicaemia, septic arthritis, osteomyelitis, wound infections, pelvic inflammatory disease and various other diseases (Palleroni, 1992). There are also numerous references reporting their isolation from a variety of materials of clinical origin (Blazevic et al, 1973 ;Gilardi, 1972 ;Pedersen et al, 1970 ;Rogers, 1960 ;Sutter, 1968). In any event, P. putida and P. fluorescens should be considered potentially pathogenic (Von Graevenitz & Weinstein, 1971).…”

“…To our knowledge Shewanella strains have not been isolated from a human foetus, but strains identified as S. putrefaciens have been isolated from premature infants (Brink et al, 1995 ;Pedersen et al, 1970). Most human clinical isolates formerly identified as S. putrefaciens do belong to a separate species, Shewanella algae (Nozue et al, 1992 ;Fonnesbech Vogel et al, 1997).…”

“…In any event, although its virulence may be low, P. putida should be considered potentially pathogenic (58). There are numerous references to isolation from a variety of materials of clinical origin in the literature (2, 18, 19,41,43,52,57). In 1994, we showed on the basis of a numerical analysis (14) of the phenotypic characteristics of 39 strains that there are four phenotypic subclusters (subclusters IIa to IId) among strains of clinical origin that belonging to or are related to P. putida.…”

We propose the name Pseudomonas monteilii for a new species of gram-negative, rod-shaped, motile bacteria that were nonhemolytic on blood agar and were isolated from clinical sources. The 10 strains of P. monteilii were incapable of liquefing gelatin. They grew at 10°C but not at 41"C, produced fluorescent pigments, catalase, and cytochrome oxidase, and possessed the arginine dihydrolase system. They were capable of respiratory but not fermentative metabolism. They did not hydrolyze esculin or starch and were able to use benzylamine, aaminobutyrate, D-ribose, L-arabinose, butyrate, valerate, isovalerate, isobutyrate, inositol, phenylacetate, D-alanine, and amylamine. They possessed L-phenylalanine arylamidase, L-lysine arylamidase, L-alanine arylamidase, y-glutamyl-transferase, glycyl-phenylalanine arylamidase, L-tryptophan arylamidase, glycyl-L-alanine arylamidase, esterase C , , esterase C , , esterase C , , esterase C , , esterase Cl0, and esterase CIS. DNA relatedness studies revealed that P. monteilii strains formed a homogeneous DNA hybridization group. A total of 57 strains representing previously described or partially characterized taxa belonging to the genus Pseudomoms were 6 to 54% related to P. monteilii. The highest hybridization values were obtained with strains belonging to or related to Pseudomonasputida biovar A. The average G+C content of the DNA was 60.5 0.5 mol% for four of the P. monteilii strains studied. The type strain of P. monteilii is CFML 90-60 (= CIP 104883); it was isolated from bronchial aspirate and has a G+C content of 60 mol%. The clinical significance of these organisms is not known.It is generally accepted today that the genus Pseudomonas, as described in Beigey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology (32), was multigeneric and should not be maintained as a single genus (11-13, 33,34,53,60,61) Pseudomonas aeruginosa , Pseudomonas jfuorescens, Pseudomonas putida, Pseudomonas chlororaphis (5, 23, 39, 51), and the plant-pathogenic Pseudomonas species (Pseudomonas syringae and Pseudomonas cichorii) are the most important fluorescent species (34). Two other species, Pseudomonas veronii (16) and Pseudomonas rhodesiae (6), have been described recently for fluorescent Pseudomonas strains isolated from natural mineral waters (15). A common characteristic of all of the above organisms is the production of pigments that fluoresce under short-wavelength UV light (25). Taxonomically, the fluorescent pseudomonads are extremely complex. The plantpathogenic fluorescent pseudomonads (17, 32) are characterized by a negative arginine dihydrolase reaction and represent a branch that is phylogenetically separate from the other fluorescent organisms in similarity group I of Palleroni (32). P. aeruginosa, the type species of the genus Pseudomonas, is a typical opportunistic pathogen (3). Most strains of this species can be easily identified by a number of phenotypic characteristics (34). This is a homogeneous species on genotypic grounds (35).P. jfuorescens and P. putida were described a few years after...
