Comamonas

Comamonas is a genus of bacteria in the phylum Pseudomonadota.[2] Like all Pseudomonadota, they are Gram-negative bacteria. Comamonas species are aerobic organisms and motile using bipolar or polar tufts of one to five flagella.Comamonas testosteroni and Comamonas kerstersii have been found to cause infections[3]
