Med. - Czech, 46, 2001 (4):95-100] Some of those bacteria were isolated from humans and can cause humans infections such as endocarditis and peritonitis.[ ATCC] This genus of bacteria is able to grow at temperatures between −10 and 42 °C.

Hypoacylated lipopolysaccharide (LPS) isolated from Psychrobacter cryohalolentis and Psychrobacter arcticus induces moderate TLR4-mediated inflammatory response in macrophages and such LPS bioactivity may potentially result in the failure of local and systemic bacterial clearance in patients.
