Tatumella ptyseos is a species of Gram-negative bacteria first isolated from human clinical specimens, predominately sputum. It has been isolated from several food sources including powdered infant formula and pineapples.[citation needed]
The specific epithet comes from the Greek noun ptyseos, which means "a spitting".[1]
