Notes:
- ❗ Pseudomonas radiotolerans 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.
- 🙂 Spelling correction conducted by LPSN on 2025-12-03.
- 🎓 Name mentioned 0 times in PubMed until 2026-01-13.
- 🙅 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 the genus.
