“…Pantoea ananatis has already been identified in many food crops. For instance, leaf blights caused by P. ananatis have been reported in rice in India (Mondal et al., 2011) and in strawberries in Canada (Bajpai et al., 2020). Liao et al.…”

Phytopathogen, Punica granatum Pomegranate (Punica granatum) is an economically important fruit crop and India ranks first for its cultivation globally (Chathalingath & Gunasekar, 2023). During December 2022, pomegranate in Tamil Nadu, India was found with leaf abnormalities. Diseased leaves showed brown necrotic spots surrounded by yellowish margins and the edges of the leaves were wrinkled (Figure 1). Diseased leaves were collected and surface sterilised with 0.2% sodium hypochlorite, and then F I G U R E 1 (a) Blight-infected pomegranate tree and (b) diseased leaves of pomegranate showing dark necrotic patches with yellowish margins and the leaves were curled at the outermargins This is an open access article under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits use, distribution and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.

“…This pathogen has been found in pineapple, rice, Eucalyptus, cotton, maize, and onion in various regions of the world and in diverse environments (reviewed in Coutinho & Venter 2009;Weller-Stuart et al 2017). Recently, P. ananatis was reported for the first time as a cause of leaf blight of strawberry in Canada (Bajpai et al 2020). P. ananatis caused bacteremic infection in one patient hospitalized for dyspnea and bilateral ankle edema.…”

Adaptation of plant and human pathogenic bacteria to niches of existence differing from their original ones is a sophisticated mechanism for survival. Research indicates that certain plant bacterial pathogens are capable of causing disease in humans, and some human bacterial pathogens can inhabit the plant environment and cause disease in plants. The infection of humans by plant bacteria may occur at direct physical contact with diseased plants and/or via the respiratory tract in mainly immunocompromised or otherwise stressed individuals. Indirect transmitters of plant and human microbes can be wind, rain, dust, insects, and animals. Human pathogenic bacteria may contaminate the soil and irrigation water, colonize the rhizosphere, more rarely also the phyllosphere, and can survive as epiphytes. Thus, the plant environment may become a reservoir of human pathogens. A source of foodborne human pathogenic bacteria can be unprocessed or unwashed fruits and vegetables. Especially during the last decade, the processes underlying the cross-kingdom performance of pathogenic bacteria are intensively researched. However, in reality, the risk for human health at infections by plant bacteria and by human bacterial pathogens surviving in the plant environment is still underestimated. The goal of the current review is to increase the interest in these issues in agricultural and general environments. Some basic strategies for infection and symptoms of diseases caused by the microorganisms under consideration are described. The potency of certain plant bacterial pathogens to surpass barriers towards humans and the interaction of human bacterial pathogens with the plant environment are addressed and the existing information is critically discussed.
