pectobacterium carotovorum is one of the most important bacterial pathogens of potato in the world.the expression of numerous genes including those involved in the production of virulence determinants in this bacterium are regulated by quorum sensing (qs). the signal molecules involved in qs in p. carotovorum belong to the group of n-acyl homoserine lactones (ahls). recently, several soil bacte...

Pectobacterium carotovurum subsp. brasiliense causes soft rot and blackleg diseases on potato. Here, we report the draft genome sequences of three weakly virulent P. carotovurum subsp. brasiliense strains isolated in Canada. Analysis of these genome sequences will help to pinpoint differences in virulence among P. carotovurum subsp. brasiliense strains from tropical/subtropical and temperate re...

Blackleg outbreaks were noticed on three fields (about 100 ha total) in 2 consecutive years (2018, 2019) one of the main potato growing areas Serbia (Bačka region, Vojvodina). The percentage infected plants reached 40 to 70%, with 10.5 44.7% yield reductions. From fields, out 90 samples Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. brasiliensis was most frequently identified and diagnosed as causal agent b...

Salmonella spp. are remarkably adaptable pathogens, and this adaptability allows these bacteria to thrive in a variety of environments and hosts. The mechanisms with which these pathogens establish within a niche amid the native microbiota remain poorly understood. Here, we aimed to uncover the mechanisms that enable Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium strain ATCC 14028 to benefit from the ...

Plants have developed general and specific defense mechanisms for protection against various enemies. Among the general defenses, induced resistance has distinct characteristics, such as broad-spectrum resistance and long-lasting effectiveness. This study evaluated over 500 specific chemical compounds derived from native Korean plant species to determine whether they triggered induced resistanc...
