Psychrobacter is a genus of Gram-negative, osmotolerant, oxidase-positive, psychrophilic or psychrotolerant, aerobic bacteria which belong to the family Moraxellaceae and the class Gammaproteobacteria. [1] [2] [3] [4] The shape is typically cocci or coccobacilli. [5] Some of those bacteria were isolated from humans and can cause humans infections such as endocarditis and peritonitis. [6] [7] This genus of bacteria is able to grow at temperatures between −10 and 42 °C. [8] Rudi Rossau found through DNA-rRNA hybridization analysis that Psychrobacter belongs to the Moraxellaceae. [9] The first species ( Psychrobacter immobilis ) was described by Juni and Heym. [10] Psychrobacter occur in wide range of moist, cold saline habitats, [8] [11] but they also occur in warm and slightly saline habitats. [4] [12]

Hypoacylated lipopolysaccharide (LPS) isolated from Psychrobacter cryohalolentis and Psychrobacter arcticus induces moderate TLR4-mediated inflammatory response in macrophages and such LPS bioactivity may potentially result in the failure of local and systemic bacterial clearance in patients. [13]
