Pseudomonas amygdali is a Gram-negative plant pathogenic bacterium^[1]. It is named after its ability to cause disease on almond (Prunus amygdalus) trees. Based on 16S rRNA analysis, P. amygdali has been placed in the P. syringae group^[2]. Following ribotypical analysis several pathovars of Pseudomonas syringae were incorporated into this species^[3]. It was also proposed that Pseudomonas ficuserectae, Pseudomonas meliae, and Pseudomonas savastanoi be incorporated into this species^[3], though there is not a consensus^[2], while others assert that Pseudomonas savastanoi is the more legitimate name^[4].
