Pseudomonas amygdali is a Gram-negative plant pathogenic bacterium. It is named after its ability to cause disease on almond ("Prunus amygdalus") trees. Different analyses, including 16S rRNA analysis, DNA-DNA hybridization, and MLST clearly placed "P. amygdali" in the "P. syringae" group together with the species "Pseudomonas ficuserectae" and "Pseudomonas meliae", and 27 pathovars of "Pseudomonas syringae"/"Pseudomonas savastanoi", constituting a single, well-defined phylogenetic group which should be considered as a single species. This phylogenetic group has not been formally named because of the lack of reliable means to differentiate it phenotypically from closely related species, and it is currently known as either genomospecies 2 or phylogroup 3. When it is formally named, the correct name for this new species should be "Pseudomonas amygdali", which takes precedence over all the other names of taxa from this group, including "Pseudomonas savastanoi", which is and inadequate and confusing name whose use is not recommended .
