Pseudomonas stutzeri is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped, motile, single polar-flagellated, soil bacterium first isolated from human spinal fluid.^[1][2] It is a denitrifying bacterium,^[3] and strain KC of P. stutzeri may be used for bioremediation as it is able to degrade carbon tetrachloride.^[4] It is also an opportunistic pathogen in clinical settings, although infections are rare.^[5] Based on 16S rRNA analysis, P. stutzeri has been placed in the P. stutzeri group, to which it lends its name.^[6]

The Pseudomonas stutzeri group

P. stutzeri lends its name to a subgroup within the genus Pseudomonas. The other members of the P. stutzeri subgroup are P. balearica and P. luteola.^[6]
