The genus Pseudomonas is a large taxon with many lineages within the genus. In this study, we compared the MALDI mass spectra between three Pseudomonas strains, which were isolated from hospitalized patients, and their relatives. The mass spectral patterns showed that these three strains were clearly different from their existing relatives and they are classified as a new species belonging to the Pseudomonas oleovorans group.
