Robinsonella pneumoniae, commonly known as Robinson bacteria, is a gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic bacterium that can cause infections in humans, particularly in the respiratory tract. Found in the nasopharynx of healthy individuals, it often remains asymptomatic but can become pathogenic under conditions of immune suppression or stress. Robinsonella is characterized by its ability to form biofilms and produce extracellular enzymes, which contribute to its virulence. Infections can range from mild upper respiratory tract infections to more severe conditions like pneumonia, especially in immunocompromised patients. Its presence in clinical settings highlights the importance of recognizing and managing potential infections caused by this bacterium.
