“…brasiliense causing soft rot in cucumber [11], paprika [18], bell pepper [19], artichoke [20], and potato [21] have been reported. The pathogens that have been reported to cause eggplant soft rot include Choanephora cucurbitarum [35], Pectobacterium wasabiae [36], Gilbertella persicaria [37], Phytophthora nicotianae [38], Erwinia chrysanthemi [39], and P. carotovorum subsp. carotovorum [40].…”

An outbreak of stem rot in eggplants was observed in Heshuo County, Xinjiang, during winter 2021–2022 in about 12–35% of the eggplants in the region (about 40 hm2). The infected tissues yielded a total of four bacterial strains, which were subsequently subjected to physiological and biochemical assays as well as molecular identification. Based on these analyses, the pathogen was identified as Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. brasiliense. The pathogenicity was confirmed through the fulfillment of Koch’s postulates. The host range test confirmed the broad spectrum of species susceptible to infection by the strains. This study represents the first case of infection caused by P. carotovorum subsp. brasiliense resulting in stem rot in eggplant.

“…Gilbertella persicaria is a well-documented post-harvest plant pathogen usually causing soft rot in fruits including tomatoes [1], peaches [2], papayas [3], dragon fruits [4], java plums [5], or eggplants [6] and it has also been isolated from soil, water, and animal dung. This fungus, considered as a zygomycete, forms part of the subphylum Mucoromycotina, the order Mucorales and belongs to the Choanephoraceae family.…”

Species of fungi belonging to the order Mucorales can be found everywhere in the environment. Gilbertella persicaria, which belongs to this order, have often been isolated from fruits and in water systems. However, there has been no report of isolation of this fungus from human samples. During a gut mycobiome study, from the Segamat community, Gilbertella persicaria was isolated from a human fecal sample and was characterized through a series of morphological assessment, biochemical tests, and molecular techniques. The isolate produced a white velvety surface that turned grayish after 24 h. Although no biofilm production was observed, the results indicated that the isolate could form calcium oxalate crystals, produced urease, and was resistant to low pH. The isolate was sensitive to amphotericin but resistant to voriconazole and itraconazole. The features of this fungus that could help in its survival in the human gut are also discussed.
