Pseudomonas mendocina

Pseudomonas mendocina is a Gram-negative environmental bacterium that can cause opportunistic nosocomial (hospital-acquired) infections, such as infective endocarditis[1] and spondylodiscitis,[2] although cases are very rare. It has potential use in bioremediation as it is able to degrade toluene.[3] Based on 16S rRNA analysis, P. mendocina has been placed in the P. aeruginosa group.[4]
