Abstract: | The identification of Pseudomonas stutzeri clinical isolates through conventional phenotypic methods was compared with identification through partial rpoD gene sequencing. We observed that commercial phenotypic systems easily confuse P. stutzeri with other Pseudomonas species. We also demonstrated that most of the clinical strains of P. stutzeri herein studied (79%) belonged to genomovar 1 of the species. We propose the use of partial rpoD gene sequence analysis as a complementary molecular tool for the precise routine identification and genomovar assignation of P. stutzeri clinical isolates, as well as for typing and epidemiological studies. |
