Notes:
- ⏰ According to Lalucat et al. (2020), this species is an earlier heterotypic synonym of Pseudomonas abyssi Wei et al. 2018 but this is in conflict with the rules of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes. Publication: Lalucat J, Mulet M, Gomila M, Garcia-Valdes E. Genomics in Bacterial Taxonomy: Impact on the Genus Pseudomonas. Genes (Basel) 2020; 11:0. 🇪🇸

- 🏢 Synonymy of this taxon was mentioned in an IJSEM list. Publication: Oren A, Garrity GM. List of changes in taxonomic opinion no. 35. Notification of changes in taxonomic opinion previously published outside the IJSEM. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2022; 72:5164.
- ❗ Pseudomonas gallaeciensis is the correct name instead if this species is regarded as a separate species (i.e., if its nomenclatural type is not assigned to another species whose name is validly published, legitimate and not rejected and has priority) within a separate genus Pseudomonas.
- 🎓 Name mentioned 1 time in PubMed until 2026-06-11.
- 🙅 This name is on the List of Recommended Names for bacteria of medical importance (LoRN) as a synonym of the name to be applied to this species. The name is on LoRN because of the recorded risk group of other species in the genus.
