Species of bacterium
Delftia tsuruhatensis is a
Gram-negative , rod-shaped,
catalase - and
oxidase -positive, motile
bacterium from the
Comamonadaceae family. It was first isolated from a
wastewater treatment plant in
Japan in 2003.
[3] D. tsuruhatensis is an opportunistic and emergent pathogen.
[4] All documented human infections are healthcare-associated.

Biology and biochemistry
Cells are slightly curved, short rod-shaped cells that occur singly or in pairs. Cells are 0.7–1.2 μm wide and 2.4–4.0 μm long.
[3]
D. tsuruhatensis can degrade phenolic compounds
[7] and aniline,
[8] which are often pollutants of soil and water.
Biofilm interactions
D. tsuruhatensis can inhibit
quorum sensing and
biofilm formation, which could inform new therapeutic drugs against
antibiotic-resistant bacteria .
[9] D. tsuruhatensis inhibits quorum sensing and suppresses biofilm formation against
Pseudomonas aeruginosa and other pathogens.
[9]
[10] These activities increase P. aeruginosa ' s susceptibility to antibiotics by 2 to 3 times.
[11]
Applications
In 2023, researchers published evidence in Science that D. tsuruhatensis prevents the development of
malaria in mosquitos by secreting
harmane . Mosquitos infected by the bacteria had 75% fewer
Plasmodium
oocysts and featured infection rates one third those of uninfected mosquitoes.
