Pseudomonas stutzeri is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped, motile, single polar-flagellated, soil bacterium first isolated from human spinal fluid[1][2]. Unlike many other members of the genus Pseudomonas, it is not fluorescent. 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].
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]
