Determinants of pathogenicity and avirulence in plant pathogenic bacteria.
Many plant pathogenic bacteria possess a conserved protein secretion system that is thought to transfer Avr (avirulence) proteins, with potential activities in both parasitism and defense elicitation, into plant cells. avr genes may be acquired horizontally by these bacteria, and avr gene compositions are highly variable. In the past year, heterologous expression experiments have revealed that ...
متن کاملInvolvement of Type IV Pili in Pathogenicity of Plant Pathogenic Bacteria
Type IV pili (T4P) are hair-like appendages found on the surface of a wide range of bacteria belonging to the β-, γ-, and δ-Proteobacteria, Cyanobacteria and Firmicutes. They constitute an efficient device for a particular type of bacterial surface motility, named twitching, and are involved in several other bacterial activities and functions, including surface adherence, colonization, biofilm ...
متن کاملTransferable drug resistance plasmids in fish-pathogenic bacteria
Chemotherapeutic agents have been developed for treating bacterial infections and have been widely used for cultured fish for the last 30 years in Japan. The extensive use of chemotherapeutants has resulted in an increase in the occurrence of drug resistance in fish-pathogenic bacteria and also in the bacterial flora of the intestinal tract of cultured fish. The kinds of chemotherapeutants used...
متن کاملPhloem-and xylem-restricted plant pathogenic bacteria
This review concerns plant pathogenic bacteria, which are strictly restricted either to the sieve tubes in the phloem or to the vessels in the xylem. These bacteria are endogenous as opposed to exogenous bacteria such as species of Erwinia , Pseudomonas , Ralstonia or Xanthomonas , which colonize the apoplast (intercellular spaces) of plant tissues, even though some of the exogenous bacteria, s...
متن کاملQuorum sensing in plant-pathogenic bacteria.
Quorum sensing (QS) allows bacteria to assess their local population density and/or physical confinement via the secretion and detection of small, diffusible signal molecules. This review describes how phytopathogenic bacteria have incorporated QS mechanisms into complex regulatory cascades that control genes for pathogenicity and colonization of host surfaces. Traits regulated by QS include th...
