Enterobacter cloacae, Apricot, Peach, Plum, Soft rotAbstract
The present study aimed to determine the effect of fruit species on infection by bacterial soft rot disease caused by Enterobacter cloacae. Three types of fruits were used: apricot, peach, and plum.The results showed that disease symptoms appeared on apricot and peach fruits. The infection rate reached 37% in apricot samples and 70% in peach samples. In contrast, plum samples were not infected and no symptoms were observed.These results indicate a clear effect of fruit species on susceptibility to bacterial soft rot disease.
Key words: Enterobacter cloacae, Apricot, Peach, Plum, Soft rot.
