Evidence Against a Direct Antimicrobial Role of H2O2 in the Infection of Plants by Erwinia chrysanthemi

We have investigated the role of bacterial resistance to oxidative stress in pathogenesis. The oxyR gene from the pathogenic bacterium Erwinia chrysanthemi has been characterized. It is closely related to that found in Es-cherichia coli (88% overall amino acid identity). An E. chrysanthemi oxyR muta...
