Pectobacterium carotovorumPectobacterium carotovorum is a bacterium of the family Pectobacteriaceae; it used to be a member of the genus Erwinia. The species is a plant pathogen with a diverse host range, including many agriculturally and scientifically important plant species. It produces that hydrolyze pectin between individual plant cells. This causes the cells to separate, a disease plant pathologists term bacterial soft rot.
Pectobacterium atrosepticumPectobacterium atrosepticum is a species of bacterium. It is a plant pathogen causing blackleg of potato. Its type strain is CFBP 1526 (=LMG 2386 =NCPPB 549 =ICMP 1526). Its genome has been sequenced. ReferencesFurther readingLiu, Hui, et al. "Quorum sensing coordinates brute force and stealth modes of infection in the plant pathogen Pectobacterium atrosepticum."
ErwiniaErwinia is a genus of Enterobacterales bacteria containing mostly plant pathogenic species which was named for the famous plant pathologist, Erwin Frink Smith. It contains Gram-negative bacteria related to Escherichia coli, Shigella, Salmonella, and Yersinia. They are primarily rod-shaped bacteria. Many infect woody plants.Pectobacterium wasabiaePectobacterium wasabiae is a plant pathogenic bacterium that was first reported to cause disease on wasabi plants. A closely related species, yet to be formally named, also causes disease on potato. Unlike most Pectobacterium, P. wasabiae strains lack a type III secretion system. Its type strain is CFBP 3304(=LMG 8404 =NCPPB 3701 =ICMP 9121). ReferencesFurther readingKim, H.-S.; Ma, B.; Perna, N. T.; Charkowski, A. O. (2009).Pectobacterium betavasculorumPectobacterium betavasculorum is a plant pathogenic bacterium that infects beets. It can cause significant losses during sugar beet production and storage. Little is known about the epidemiology of this disease. Its type strain is CFBP 2122 (=LMG 2464=NCPPB 2795 =ICMP 4226). ReferencesFurther readingKim, H.-S.; Ma, B.; Perna, N. T.; Charkowski, A. O.

PectobacteriaceaeThe Pectobacteriaceae are a family of Gram-negative bacteria which largely consist of plant pathogens. This family is a member of the order Enterobacterales in the class Gammaproteobacteria of the phylum Pseudomonadota. The type species of this family is Pectobacterium. The name Pectobacteriaceae is derived from the Latin term Pectobacterium, referring the type genus of the family and the suffix "-aceae", an ending used to denote a family.
BrenneriaBrenneria is a genus of Pectobacteriaceae, containing mostly pathogens of woody plants. This genus is named after the microbiologist . Some members of this genus were formerly placed in Erwinia. SpeciesSpecies now placed in Brenneria include: subsp. americanasubsp.
