PSEUDOMONAS

What are pseudomonas?

Pseudomonas sp is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria that can colonise a wide range of niches. You have probably heard of them as their strains include opportunistic pathogens such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, responsible for many infections in humans and of great interest due to its frequent resistance to antibiotics.

What do pseudomonas cause in food?

These bacteria help in the spoilage of food. Sometimes the raw material carries a high load of the bacteria, and it is very difficult to lower the counts with any additives.

The presence of pseudomonas in food may also indicate poor manufacturing practices, as some species come from human contamination.
