The Brevundimonas are a genus of bacteria. They are Gram-negative, non-fermenting, aerobic bacilli. The Brevundimonas species are ubiquitous in the environment but are rarely isolated from clinical samples.,[2] although numbers are increasing.[3] Two species of Brevundimonas originally classified under the genus Pseudomonas have been re-classified by Seger et al. as Brevundimonas vesicularis and Brevundimonas diminuta.[4]
The name Brevundimonas derives from: Latin adjective brevis, short; Latin feminine gender noun unda, a wave; Latin feminine gender noun monas (μονάς), nominally meaning "a unit", but in effect meaning a bacterium; Neo-Latin feminine gender noun Brevundimonas, bacteria with short wavelength flagella.[1]
Members of the genus Brevundimonas can be referred to as brevundimonad (viz. Trivialisation of names).
Brevundimonas is one of few bacteria showing high survival rates under simulated Martian conditions.[5] Results from one of these experimental irradiation experiments, combined with previous radiation modeling, indicate that Brevundimonas sp. MV.7 em-placed only 30 cm deep in Martian dust could survive the cosmic radiation for up to 100,000 years before suffering 106 population reduction.
