Roseomonas mucosa
Roseomonas mucosa is a species of Gram negative, strictly aerobic, coccobacilli-shaped, pink-pigmented bacterium. It was first isolated from blood in 2000. The new species name was first proposed in 2003 and derives from Latin "mucosa" (mucous, slimy), referring to the muccoid, almost runny bacterial colonies. During a survey of 36 strains of "Roseomonas", "R. mucosa" was the most common species isolated. A small study of 10 adults and 5 children showed "R. mucosa" might be able to be used as a treatment for eczema.
