May the Phage be With You? Prophage-Like Elements in the Genomes of Soft Rot Pectobacteriaceae: Pectobacterium spp. and Dickeya spp. [PDF]
Soft Rot Pectobacteriaceae (SRP; Pectobacterium spp. and Dickeya spp., formerly known as pectinolytic Erwinia spp.) are necrotrophic bacterial pathogens infecting a large number of plant species worldwide, including agriculturally-important crops ...

A novel genus of Pectobacterium bacteriophages display broad host range by targeting several species of Danish soft rot isolates [PDF]
The bacterial diseases black leg and soft rot in potatoes cause heavy losses of potatoes worldwide. Bacteria within the genus Pectobacteriaceae are the causative agents of black leg and soft rot. The use of antibiotics in agriculture is heavily regulated

Two New Dickeya dadantii Phages with Odd Growth Patterns Expand the Diversity of Phages Infecting Soft Rot Pectobacteriaceae. [PDF]
Background: Bacterial soft rot caused by members of the soft rot Pectobacteriaceae afflicts plant production of both vegetable and ornamental crops. Recent outbreaks highlight Dickeya sp.

The curious case of chemotaxis in soft rot Pectobacteriaceae [PDF]
Soft rot Pectobacteriaceae, Dickeya and Pectobacterium, are notorious for causing blackleg and soft rot diseases on more than 50% angiosperms such as potato, tomato, carrot, cabbage, and rice. In the United States, soft rot Pectobacteriaceae causes at least $40 million losses of potato each year.

Multilocus sequence and phenotypic analysis of Pectobacterium and Dickeya type strains for identification of soft rot Pectobacteriaceae from symptomatic potato stems and tubers in Pennsylvania [PDF]
Outbreaks of potato blackleg and soft rot caused by Pectobacterium species and more recently Dickeya species across the U.S. mid-Atlantic region have caused yield loss due to poor emergence as well as losses from stem and tuber rot. To develop management strategies for soft rot diseases, we must first identify which members of the soft rot ...

Although irrigation water is frequently assessed for the presence of plant pathogens, large spatial and temporal surveys that provide clues on the diversity and circulation of pathogens are missing. We evaluate the diversity of soft rot Pectobacteriaceae (SRP) of the genera Dickeya and Pectobacterium over 2 years in a temperate, mixed-use watershed ...

Manuka Honey Inhibits Biofilm Formation and Reduces the Expression of the Associated Genes in Pectobacterium brasiliense. [PDF]
Biofilms are major virulence factors formed by pathogenic bacteria to invade their host and maintain their colony. While biofilms usually develop on diverse solid surfaces, floating biofilms, also called pellicles, are formed at the air–liquid interface.

Abstract The threat of emerging plant diseases has become more frequent as global warming and international trade are increasing. Blackleg and soft rot of potatoes caused by the group of bacteria in the family Pectobacteriaceae and the genera Dickeya and Pectobacterium are important diseases causing economic losses globally. In the European Union, they

A survey of soft rot pectobacteriaceae along the anthropogenic gradient of the Durance river
Background: Soft rot Pectobacteriaceae (SRP: Pectobacterium spp. and Dickeya spp.) infect a large number of plant species worldwide, including economically important plants. While the diversity of SRP observed on plants is fairly well described, the presence and diversity of SRP outside the plant context is not known in detail.Objectives: To anticipate
