In this book, a team of respected scientists review the most important current topics to provide a timely overview on bacterial-plant interactions. The topics covered include: type III secretion systems and their role in the bacterial-host interaction * the Pseudomonas and Erwinia model systems and their application to other studies * the emerging plant pathogen Acidovorax * the Gram-positive phytopathogens Clavibacter, Streptomyces, and Rhodococcus * the colonization of plants by human bacterial pathogens * Pseudomonas biocontrol approaches * phage therapy. The book will be essential reading for every plant pathogen researcher, from the PhD student to the experienced scientist, and is recommended reading for researchers working on foodborne pathogens and bacterial pathogenesis.
