General information:
 Ubiquitous bacteria that belong to the γ-Proteobacteria.
Contains the clinically important human pathogen P. aeruginosa, the agriculturally important plant pathogen P. syringae, and the nonpathogenic bioremediation agent P. putida.
Characteristics:
P. aeruginosa is a major opportunistic human pathogen, notable for its ability to form biofilm and best-characterized quorum-sensing systems among Gram-negative bacteria.
Disease:
P. aeruginosa can cause a variety of opportunistic infections ranging from eye infections in contact lens wearers to burn and wound infections leading to septic shock.
Lung infections in cystic fibrosis patients.
