Abstract
The distinctive properties of an Alcaligenes-like organism isolated from human pathological material are described. The organism is readily recognizable by its characteristic colonial appearances, fruity smell and greening of blood agar. It resembles to a considerable extent A. faecalis, "Bacterium alcali-aromaticum", and A. odorans; the name A. odorans var. viridans is proposed for the organism. It appears to be nonpathogenic, but may be confused with Pseudomonas aeruginosa.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
