Pectobacterium atrosepticum and Pectobacterium carotovorum harbor distinct, independently acquired integrative and conjugative elements encoding coronafacic acid that enhance virulence on potato stems

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Integrative and conjugative elements (ICEs) play a central role in the evolution of bacterial virulence, their transmission between bacteria often leading to the acquisition of virulence factors that alter host range or aggressiveness.

Genomic, proteomic and morphological characterization of two novel broad host lytic bacteriophages ΦPD10.3 and ΦPD23.1 infecting pectinolytic Pectobacterium spp. and Dickeya spp.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Pectinolytic Pectobacterium spp. and Dickeya spp. are necrotrophic bacterial pathogens of many important crops, including potato, worldwide. This study reports on the isolation and characterization of broad host lytic bacteriophages able to infect the ...

Genome sequence of the model plant pathogen Pectobacterium carotovorum SCC1

Standards in Genomic Sciences, 2017
Bacteria of the genus Pectobacterium are economically important plant pathogens that cause soft rot disease on a wide variety of plant species. Here, we report the genome sequence of Pectobacterium carotovorum strain SCC1, a Finnish soft rot model strain

Production of L-Aparaginase by Using Pectobacterium carotovorum

Journal of Probiotics & Health, 2017
L-Asparaginase appears to be highly effective especially in children with newly diagnosed Acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Prolonged L-Asparaginase intensification improved the outcome significantly. Nowadays L-Asparaginase is an essential drug that is used to treat children with Acute lymphoblastic leukemia all over the world.

The role of proteases in Pectobacterium carotovorum virulence

This dissertation investigates the role of proteases in the virulence of Pectobacterium carotovorum, a significant bacterial pathogen responsible for economically devastating soft rot diseases in numerous plant hosts. Proteases are crucial enzymes that enable bacterial pathogens to degrade host tissues, thus facilitating infection and colonization ...

Revised phylogeny and novel horizontally acquired virulence determinants of the model soft rot phytopathogen Pectobacterium wasabiae SCC3193.

PLoS Pathogens, 2012
Soft rot disease is economically one of the most devastating bacterial diseases affecting plants worldwide. In this study, we present novel insights into the phylogeny and virulence of the soft rot model Pectobacterium sp.

Antibacterial Activity of Coptis chinensis Extract Against Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum

International Journal of Phytopathology, 2016
Soft rot of Zantedeschia, caused by Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum (Pcc), has caused a significant worldwide threat to calla lily production. Hence, in order to effectively manage the disease, an intensive management programme aimed at adequte suppression of the pathogen is paramount. In order to investigate the antibacterial effect of a

Antibody-based detection and quantification of Pectobacterium carotovorum ssp. carotovorum

, 2010
Pectobacterium carotovorum ssp. carotovorum (Pcc) is implicated in the destruction of ornamental plants in greenhouse recirculating systems. PCR-based detection and quantification of Pcc requires expensive instrumentation and knowledgeable users. This thesis describes the production of polyclonal antibodies and a single-domain antibody fragment (VHH ...
