Many plant bacteriologists, if not all, feel that their particular microbe should appear in any
list of the most important bacterial plant pathogens. However, to our knowledge, no such list …

Bacterial interactions with neighboring microorganisms via production of small metabolites
enable bacteria to respond and adapt to environmental changes. The study of intercellular …

Soft rot Enterobacteriaceae (SRE) are bacterial plant pathogens that cause blackleg, wilt
and soft rot diseases on a broad range of important crop and ornamental plants worldwide …

Most bacterial pathogens have the remarkable ability to flourish in the external environment
and in specialized host niches. This ability requires their metabolism, physiology, and …

The type VI secretion system (T6SS) is a bacterial nanomachine used to inject effectors into
prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells and is thus involved in both host manipulation and …

In prokaryotes, clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPRs) and
their associated (Cas) proteins constitute a defence system against bacteriophages and …

All components of the rhizosphere can be engineered to promote plant health and growth,
two features that strongly depend upon the interactions of living organisms with their …

Given the major threat of phytopathogenic bacteria to food production and ecosystem
stability worldwide, novel alternatives to conventional chemicals-based agricultural practices …

The type VI secretion system (T6SS) is a complex and widespread gram-negative bacterial
export pathway with the capacity to translocate protein effectors into a diversity of target cell …

Protein secretion plays a central role in modulating the interactions of bacteria with their
environments. This is particularly the case when symbiotic bacteria (whether pathogenic …
