Pseudomonas mendocina is a Gram-negative environmental bacterium that can cause opportunistic infections, such as infective endocarditis^[1] and spondylodiscitis,^[2] although cases are very rare. It has potential use in bioremediation as it is able to degrade toluene.^[3] Based on 16S rRNA analysis, P. mendocina has been placed in the P. aeruginosa group.^[4]
