Pseudomonas pertucinogena

Pseudomonas pertucinogena is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped, motile bacterium. It derives its name from the fact that it produces pertucin, a bacteriocin active against phase I organisms of Bordetella pertussis.[1] Based on 16S rRNA analysis, P. pertucinogena has been placed in the P. pertucinogena group,[2] named after this species.
