Pseudomonas pertucinogena is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped, motile bacterium. It derives its name from the fact that it produces pertucin, a bacteriocin active against phase I organisms of Bordetella pertussis. Based on 16S rRNA analysis, P. pertucinogena has been placed in the P. pertucinogena group, named after this species.
P. pertucinogena lends its name to a subgroup within the genus Pseudomonas. The only other member of the P. pertucinogena subgroup is Pseudomonas denitrificans.
