Pseudomonas alcaligenes is a Gram-negative aerobic bacterium used for bioremediation purposes of oil pollution, pesticide substances, and certain chemical substances, as it can degrade polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.{{cite journal | last1 = O'Mahony | first1 = MM | last2 = Dobson | first2 = AD | last3 = Barnes | first3 = JD | last4 = Singleton | first4 = I | year = 2006 | title = The use of ozone in the remediation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon contaminated soil | journal = Chemosphere | volume = 63 | issue = 2| pages = 307–14 | doi = 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2005.07.018 | pmid = 16153687 }} It can be a human pathogen, but occurrences are very rare.{{cite journal | last1 = Valenstein | first1 = P | last2 = Bardy | first2 = GH | last3 = Cox | first3 = CC | last4 = Zwadyk | first4 = P | year = 1983 | title = Pseudomonas alcaligenes endocarditis | journal = American Journal of Clinical Pathology | volume = 79 | issue = 2| pages = 245–7 | pmid = 6823910 | doi = 10.1093/ajcp/79.2.245 }}{{Cite journal|title = Genome Sequence of a Strain of the Human Pathogenic Bacterium Pseudomonas alcaligenes That Caused Bloodstream Infection|journal = Genome Announcements|date = 2013-10-31|issn = 2169-8287|pmc = 3814577|pmid = 24179116|volume = 1|issue = 5|doi = 10.1128/genomeA.00919-13|first = Masato|last = Suzuki|first2 = Satowa|last2 = Suzuki|first3 = Mari|last3 = Matsui|first4 = Yoichi|last4 = Hiraki|first5 = Fumio|last5 = Kawano|first6 = Keigo|last6 = Shibayama|pages=e00919-13}} Based on 16S rRNA analysis, P. alcaligenes has been placed in the P. aeruginosa group.{{cite journal |author=Anzai |title=Phylogenetic affiliation of the pseudomonads based on 16S rRNA sequence |journal=Int J Syst Evol Microbiol |volume=50 | issue = 4 |pages=1563–89 |date=Jul 2000 |pmid=10939664 |last2=Kim |first2=H |last3=Park |first3=JY |last4=Wakabayashi |first4=H |last5=Oyaizu |first5=H |doi=10.1099/00207713-50-4-1563|display-authors=etal}}
