Pathogenicity and sensitivity to bactericides evaluated in ginger and other plant species, suggesting management strategies.

Pectobacterium brasiliense was identified as the causal agent of rhizome rot in ginger.
The strain CPB04 showed 100% similarity to Pectobacterium brasiliense based on 16S rRNA sequencing.
In vitro tests indicated CPB04 was sensitive to copper formulations while resistant to kasugamycin.
This study reports Pectobacterium brasiliense as a new threat to ginger cultivation in Mexico.

Alvarez-Hornia et al. (2025) studied this question.
