'''''Comamonas''''' is a genus of [bacteria](/source/bacteria) in the phylum [Pseudomonadota](/source/Pseudomonadota).<ref name=BergeyAlpha>Garrity, George M.; Brenner, Don J.; Krieg, Noel R.; Staley, James T. (eds.) (2005). Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology, Volume Two: The Proteobacteria, Part C: The Alpha-, Beta-, Delta-, and Epsilonproteobacteria. New York, New York: Springer. {{ISBN|978-0-387-24145-6}}.</ref> Like all Pseudomonadota, they are [Gram-negative bacteria](/source/Gram-negative_bacteria). ''Comamonas'' species are [aerobic organism](/source/aerobic_organism)s and motile using bipolar or polar tufts of one to five [flagella](/source/flagellum). ''Comamonas testosteroni'' and ''Comamonas kerstersii'' have been found to cause infections in people.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Ryan |first1=Michael P. |last2=Sevjahova |first2=Ludmila |last3=Gorman |first3=Rachel |last4=White |first4=Sandra |date=September 2022 |title=The Emergence of the Genus Comamonas as Important Opportunistic Pathogens |journal=Pathogens |language=en |volume=11 |issue=9 |pages=1032 |doi=10.3390/pathogens11091032 |pmid=36145464 |pmc=9504711 |issn=2076-0817|doi-access=free }}</ref>
