Article Synopsis
- The text discusses an emerging pathogen, identified as pv., which causes leaf spot disease in pepper plants, leading to significant economic losses in pepper production.
- A study involving strains from Ohio showed varying virulence levels on pepper seedlings, along with assessments of their growth, biofilm production, and motility, though these couldn't conclusively link to strains' virulence.
- Whole-genome sequencing revealed several virulence-related genes and antimicrobial resistance genes, but no strong correlations were established between genetic content and disease severity, suggesting the need for more research with larger sample sizes to understand the pathogen's effects on peppers.
Pseudomonas leaf spot (PLS) disease in peppers caused by pv. () is an emerging seedborne phytopathogen. infection can severely reduce the marketable yield of peppers in favorable environmental conditions and cause significant economic losses.

Understanding the functional role of bacterial genes in the persistence of in plant organs can facilitate the development of agricultural practices to mitigate food safety risks associated with the consumption of fresh produce contaminated with spp. Our study showed that subsp. serotype Typhimurium (strain MDD14) persisted less in inoculated tomato plants than other Typhimurium strains tested (JSG210, JSG626, JSG634, JSG637, JSG3444, and EV030415; < 0.

Development of resistance is a major limitation of current ExPEC antibiotic therapy.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAvian pathogenic (APEC) causes colibacillosis in avian species, and recent reports have suggested APEC as a potential foodborne zoonotic pathogen. Herein, we discuss the virulence and pathogenesis factors of APEC, review the zoonotic potential, provide the current status of antibiotic resistance and progress in vaccine development, and summarize the alternative control measures being investigated. In addition to the known virulence factors, several other factors including quorum sensing system, secretion systems, two-component systems, transcriptional regulators, and genes associated with metabolism also contribute to APEC pathogenesis.
