From Wikipedia
Ralstonia is a genus of bacteria, previously included in the genus Pseudomonas. It is named after the American bacteriologist Ericka Ralston. While in graduate school at the University of California at Berkeley, Ralston identified 20 strains of Pseudomonas which formed a phenotypical homologous group, and named them Pseudomonas pickettii, after M.J. Pickett, from whom she had received the strains. Later, P. pickettii was transferred to the new genus Ralstonia, along with several other species.
