| Abstract: | Background The genus Pseudomonas comprises more than 100 species of environmental, clinical, agricultural, and biotechnological interest. Although, the recommended
method for discriminating bacterial species is DNA-DNA hybridisation, alternative techniques based on multigenic sequence
analysis are becoming a common practice in bacterial species discrimination studies. Since there is not a general criterion
for determining which genes are more useful for species resolution; the number of strains and genes analysed is increasing
continuously. As a result, sequences of different genes are dispersed throughout several databases. This sequence information
needs to be collected in a common database, in order to be useful for future identification-based projects. |
