Abstract
The genus Pseudomonas is characterized by its rich genetic diversity, with over 300 species been validly recognized. This reflects significant progress made through sequencing and computational methods. Pseudomonas putida group comprises highly adaptable species that thrive in diverse environments and play various ecological roles, from promoting plant growth to being pathogenic in immunocompromised individuals. By leveraging the GRUMPS computational pipeline, we scrutinized 26363 genomes labeled as Pseudomonas in NCBI GenBank, categorizing all Pseudomonas spp. genomes into 435 distinct species-level clusters or cliques. We identified 224 strains deposited under the taxonomic identifier "Pseudomonas putida" distributed within 31 of these species-level clusters, challenging prior classifications. Nine of these 31 cliques contained at least six genomes labeled as "Pseudomonas putida" and were analyzed in depth, particularly clique_1 (P. alloputida) and clique_2 (P. putida). Pangenomic analysis of a set of 413 P. putida group strains revealed over 2.2 million proteins and more than 77000 distinct protein families. The core genome of these 413 strains includes 2226 protein families involved in essential biological processes. Intraspecific genetic homogeneity was observed within each clique, each possessing a distinct genomic identity. These cliques exhibit distinct core genes and diverse subgroups, reflecting adaptation to specific environments. Contrary to traditional views, nosocomial infections by P. alloputida, P. putida, and P. monteilii have been reported, with strains showing varied antibiotic resistance profiles due to diverse mechanisms. This review enhances the taxonomic understanding of key P. putida group species using advanced population genomics approaches and provides a comprehensive understanding of their genetic diversity, ecological roles, interactions, and potential applications.
