Pectobacterium carotovorum

species of bacterium


Pectobacterium carotovorum (syn Erwinia carotovora[1]) 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.[2]

Pectobacteria[3][4] change
