"Pseudomonas mendocina" is a Gram-negative environmental bacterium that can cause opportunistic nosocomial infections, such as infective endocarditis [cite journal |author=Aragone, "et al." |title="Pseudomonas mendocina", an environmental bacterium isolated from a patient with human infective endocarditis |journal=J Clin Microbiol |volume=30 |issue=6| pages=1583–4 |year=1992 Jun |pmid=1624580] and spondylodiscitis [Chi CY, Lai CH, Fung CP, Wang JH. (2005) "Pseudomonas mendocina" spondylodiscitis: a case report and literature review. Scandinavian Journal of Infectious Diseases 37(11-12):950-3. PMID 16308244 ] , although cases are very rare. It has potential use in bioremediation as it is able to degrade toluene [Yen KM, Karl MR, Blatt LM, Simon MJ, Winter RB, Fausset PR, Lu HS, Harcourt AA, Chen KK. (1991) Cloning and characterization of a "Pseudomonas mendocina" KR1 gene cluster encoding toluene-4-monooxygenase. Journal of Bacteriology 173(17):5315-27. PMID 1885512] . Based on 16S rRNA analysis, "P. mendocina" has been placed in the "P. aeruginosa" group [cite journal |author=Anzai, "et al." |title=Phylogenetic affiliation of the pseudomonads based on 16S rRNA sequence |journal=Int J Syst Evol Microbiol |volume=50 (Pt 4) |pages=1563–89 |year=2000, Jul |pmid=10939664] .
