Species code:	RALPJ
Taxonomy:	Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Betaproteobacteria; Burkholderiales; Burkholderiaceae; Ralstonia (TaxID: 402626) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description:	Ralstonia spp. are aerobic Gram-negative, oxidase positive, non-fermentative rods that are found in water and soil. They have been recently separated from Burkholderia spp. Ralstonia pickettii is emerging as an opportunistic nocosomial pathogen in both the hospital setting and from environmental sources. R. pickettii has been isolated from a wide variety of clinical specimens including blood, urine and cerebrospinal fluid. It has been identified in biofilm formation in plastic water piping as well as in ultrapure water in industrial systems, in the space shuttle water system and in laboratory-based ultrapure water systems. It also has considerable biodegradative properties, being able to degrade a number of toxic compounds such as aromatic hydrocarbons, chlorinated phenolic compounds and so on. Strain 12J was isolated in 1999 from sediments from Torch Lake, a heavily copper-contaminated lake located in Michigan, USA. It is resistant to high concentrations of copper, zinc and cadmium (modified from PubMed 12545313 and 16337309).
