Phytopathogenic bacteria belonging to the Pectobacterium and Dickeya genera (soft-rot Pectobacteriaceae) are in the focus of agriculture-related microbiology because of their diversity, their substantial negative impact on the production of potatoes and vegetables, and the prospects of bacteriophage applications for disease control. Because of numerous amendments in the taxonomy of P. carotovorum, there are still a few studied sequenced strains among this species. The present work reports on the isolation and characterization of the phage infectious to the type strain of P. carotovorum. The phage Arno 160 is a lytic Podovirus representing a potential new genus of the subfamily Autographivirinae. It recognizes O-polysaccahride of the host strain and depolymerizes it in the process of infection using a rhamnosidase hydrolytic mechanism. Despite the narrow host range of this phage, it is suitable for phage control application.

Resistance Tests

A collection comprising 14 isolates of Pediococcus pentosaceus and one Pediococcus acidilactici from the fermentation of caper fruits was studied. All isolates showed very similar fermentation profiles and produced a limited number of exoenzymes. All isolates carried large plasmids of diverse sizes between 20 and 55 kb, while some also contained smaller plasmids between 10 and 16 kb. Cluster analysis of plasmid profiles revealed four main groups with various degrees of similarities. All amino acid decarboxylation tests were negative, suggesting that pediococci are not involved in generation of biogenic amines. None of the isolates showed hemolytic activity. Antimicrobial resistance tests revealed that all isolates were sensitive to 11 different antimicrobials while being resistant to ciprofloxacin (MIC ≥2 mg/liter) and intrinsically resistant to vancomycin (MIC ≥16 mg/liter) and teicoplanin (MIC ≥16 mg/liter).
