Pseudomonas alcaligenes
An aerobic, oxidase-positive, gram-negative, bacillus that produces either a non-pigmented or a yellow pigmented colony. It has been isolated environmentally from water sources, including swimming pool water, contaminated milk, and from clinical specimens. It rarely is pathogenic to humans, but it can cause eye infections and empyema.
