“…Over the decades, the outlook was taken to use synthetic chemicals including antibiotics, bactericides, organic, inorganic salts, fertilizers (i.e., calcium and nitrogen) and peptides to control SRP, however none of these studies reported the control particularly of Pbr [ 147 , 148 ]. Several reports indicated promising results, with reduction of soft rot and blackleg incidences in potato.…”

“…Several reports indicated promising results, with reduction of soft rot and blackleg incidences in potato. For example, efficient control of SRP was demonstrated using antibiotic combinations such as streptomycin/oxytetracycline hypochlorite, streptomycin/mercury compounds, kasugamycin and virginiamycin [ 147 ] or bactericides (acetic acid, boric acid and bleaching powder) [ 148 ]. Small molecular weight defense proteins named as antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are another group of interesting compounds with proven antibacterial properties against a wide range of pathogens including bacteria, fungi and viruses [ 149 ], but have also been reported to inhibit the growth of SRP and reduce soft rot symptoms in vitro [ 150 , 151 ].…”

Pectobacterium brasiliense (Pbr) is considered as one of the most virulent species among the Pectobacteriaceae. This species has a broad host range within horticulture crops and is well distributed elsewhere. It has been found to be pathogenic not only in the field causing blackleg and soft rot of potato, but it is also transmitted via storage causing soft rot of other vegetables. Genomic analysis and other cost-effective molecular detection methods such as a quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) are essential to investigate the ecology and pathogenesis of the Pbr. The lack of fast, field deployable point-of-care testing (POCT) methods, specific control strategies and current limited genomic knowledge make management of this species difficult. Thus far, no comprehensive review exists about Pbr, however there is an intense need to research the biology, detection, pathogenicity and management of Pbr, not only because of its fast distribution across Europe and other countries but also due to its increased survival to various climatic conditions. This review outlines the information available in peer-reviewed literature regarding host range, detection methods, genomics, geographical distribution, nomenclature and taxonomical evolution along with some of the possible management and control strategies. In summary, the conclusions and a further directions highlight the management of this species.

“…As early as in 1928, Doran pointed out that acetic acid reacted as antibacterial, similarly as confirmed by Himel et al (2017). Also, H 2 O 2 which reacted as active oxygen species provided bactericidal effects towards various phytopathogenic bacteria (Hopkins et al, 2003, Hopkins et al, 2009, EPA, 2004and Pfuntner, 2011.…”

Safety elements became must to be beneficial used as bactericide alternatives (Himel et al, 2017). Thus, acetic acid (Himel et al, 2017) and H 2 O 2 (Kiraly et al, 1993 andEPA, 2012) were used individually or with various combinations to reduce E. carotovora subsp.…”

strong oxidizing compound, peroxyacetic acid (PAA) which formed by mixing hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) with acetic acid, gave a promising control approach against soft rot bacteria. Since, wetting fleshy plant organs by PAA significantly reduced soft rot severity as compared to check organs (untreated organs). All tested vegetable fruits, i.e. eggplant, pepper, tomato, cucumber, squash and okra plus potato tubers were responded to PAA treatment. However, pepper fruits showed the highest protection followed by eggplant, squash, cucumber and okra, while tomato fruits showed the least protection value. Potato tubers gave 50% protection. Storage temperature is important, since at 35ºC decay was developed at short period while at 5ºC was delayed. Efficacy of peroxyacetic acid to reduce bacterial soft rot was differed significantly with both storage temperatures and the tested vegetable fruits or tubers. Either wounded or sound treated vegetable fruits or tubers responded to PAA treatment that showed significant reduction in soft rot severity by 41.1-72.2% in case of unwounded treated vegetable fruits or tubers by about 20-66% in case of wounded treated vegetable fruits or tubers. PAA was more effective to reduce bacterial soft rot severity when unwounded fruits or tubers were pre-inoculation treated.
