Unraveling the genomic diversity of the Pseudomonas putida group: exploring taxonomy, core pangenome, and antibiotic resistance mechanisms.

ABSTRACT: The genus Pseudomonas is characterized by its rich genetic diversity, with over 300 species been validly recognized. This reflects significant progress made through sequencing and computational methods. Pseudomonas putida group comprises highly adaptable species that thrive in diverse environments and play various ecological roles, from promoting plant growth to being pathogenic in immunocompromised individuals. By leveraging the GRUMPS computational pipeline, we scrutinized 26 363 genomes labeled as Pseudomonas in the NCBI GenBank, categorizing all Pseudomonas spp. genomes into 435 distinct species-level clusters or cliques. We identified 224 strains deposited under the taxonomic identifier "Pseudomonas putida" distributed within 31 of these species-level clusters, challenging prior class
