Pseudoleptotrichia goodfellowii is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, non-motile anaerobic bacterium and the sole species of the genus Pseudoleptotrichia (previously classified as Leptotrichia goodfellowii). It was isolated from the human blood of an endocarditis patient.[1][2][3][4][5] It is associated with infections in the oral cavity and respiratory tract. Although related species within the former genus Leptotrichia are known human pathogens, Pseudoleptotrichia goodfellowii now stands apart as a monotypic taxon, with its precise pathogenic mechanisms and clinical significance still under investigation.
