Pectobacterium carotovorum

Pectobacterium carotovorum (syn Erwinia carotovoraYoung JM, C.T. Bull, S.H. De Boer, G. Firrao, L. Gardan, G.E. Saddler, D.E. Stead and Y. Takikawa Names of Plant Pathogenic Bacteria Published Since 1995) is a rod-shaped bacterium originally isolated from carrots. It is a plant pathogen and opportunistic human pathogen, causative agent of soft rot and blackleg potato (P. atrosepticum) diseases.Young, J. M., Saddler, G. S., Takikawa, Y., De Boer, S.
