Natural Infections of Potato Plants Grown from Minitubers with Blackleg-Causing Soft Rot Pectobacteriaceae [PDF]
Information on the infection incidence of blackleg-causing soft rot Pectobacteriaceae (BL-SRP) in potato crops grown from minitubers (PB1-crop) and the distribution of BL-SRP in individual plants was collected during a two-year survey conducted at five ...

Pectobacterium versatile β-Lactamase Contributes to Soft Rot Pectobacteriaceae (SRP) Community Diversity During Potato Infection [PDF]
This work analyses the ecological role exerted by β‐lactamase under natural conditions, in the absence of clinical antibiotic pressure. It shows that β‐lactamase acts as a common good and plays an important role in the maintenance of β‐lactam‐susceptible strains in the environment.

Tailocin-Mediated Interactions Among Soft Rot Pectobacteriaceae. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Bacteria carry phage‐derived elements within their genomes, some of which can produce phage‐like particles (tailocins) used as weapons to kill kin strains in response to environmental conditions. This study investigates the production and activity of tailocins by plant‐pathogenic bacteria: Pectobacterium, Dickeya, and Musicola genera, which ...

In Vitro Antibacterial Activity and Mode of Action of Piper betle Extracts against Soft Rot Disease-Causing Bacteria. [PDF]
Soft rot disease affects a range of crops in the field and also during transit and storage, resulting in significant yield losses and negative economic impacts. This study evaluated the in vitro antibacterial activities and mode of action of Piper betle extracts against the soft rot disease‐causing bacteria, Erwinia caratovora subsp.

Soft rot pathogen Dickeya dadantii 3937 produces tailocins resembling the tails of Peduovirus P2 [PDF]
Tailocins are nanomolecular machines with bactericidal activity. They are produced by bacteria to contribute to fitness in mixed communities, and hence, they play a critical role in their ecology in a variety of habitats.
