Pseudoxanthomonas

Description and Significance

Pseudoxanthomonas winnipegensis is a gram negative bacteria. This species obtains the bacillus shape and has a yellowish pigment. Pseudoxanthomonas winnipegensis was derived water, plants or contaminated soils. Recent studies recovered the bacteria from human clinical materials and was recently recovered from cystic fibrosis patients. Until recently, Pseudoxanthomonas species were only identifiable at the genus level. New gene sequencing improvements have allowed for the identification of species within the genus.
