Soft rot Pectobacteriacea (SRP) gathers more than 30 bacterial species that collectively rot a wide range of plants by producing and secreting a large set of plant cell wall degrading enzymes (PCWDEs). Worldwide potato field surveys identified 15 different SRP species on symptomatic plants and tubers. The abundance of each species observed during outbreaks varies over space and time and the mechanisms driving species shift during outbreak are unknown. Furthermore, multi-species infections are frequently observed and the dynamics of these coinfections are not well understood.
