Roseomonas gilardii
Roseomonas gilardii is a species of Gram negative, strictly aerobic, coccobacilli-shaped, pink-pigmented bacterium. It is the type species of the genus "Roseomonas". The new species was among the first "Roseomonas" species proposed in 1993, and is named for "Gerald L. Gilardi for his many contributions to bacteriology and, specifically, for his contributions in the area of glucose-nonfermenting gram-negative rods." "R. gilardii" is pathogenic for humans, causing bacteremia and other infections. There are two subspecies of "R. gilardii": "R". g. subsp. "gilardii" and "R". g. subsp. "rosea".
