The economic impact of phytopathogenic bacteria on agriculture is staggering, costing billions of US dollars globally. is the top most phytopathogenic bacteria, having more than 60 pathovars, which cause bacteria speck in tomatoes, halo blight in beans, and so on. Although antibiotics or a combination of antibiotics are used to manage infectious diseases in plants, they are employed far less in agriculture compared to human and animal populations. Moreover, the majority of antibiotics used in plants are immediately washed away, leading to environmental damage to ecosystems and food chains. Due to the serious risk of antibiotic resistance (AR) and the potential for environmental contamination with antibiotic residues and resistance genes, the use of unchecked antibiotics against phytopathogenic bacteria is not advisable. Despite the significant concern regarding AR in the world today, there are inadequate and outdated data on the AR of phytopathogenic bacteria. This review presents recent AR data on plant pathogenic bacteria (PPB), along with their environmental impact. In light of these findings, we suggest the use of biocontrol agents as a sustainable, eco-friendly, and effective alternative to controlling phytopathogenic bacteria.
植物病原细菌对农业的经济影响惊人，在全球造成了数十亿美元的损失。是最主要的植物病原细菌，有60多个致病型，可引发番茄细菌性斑点病、豆类晕疫病等。虽然抗生素或抗生素组合被用于防治植物传染病，但与人类和动物群体相比，它们在农业中的使用要少得多。此外，植物中使用的大多数抗生素会立即被冲走，对生态系统和食物链造成环境破坏。由于抗生素耐药性（AR）的严重风险以及抗生素残留和耐药基因对环境造成污染的可能性，不加节制地使用抗生素防治植物病原细菌是不可取的。尽管当今世界对AR极为关注，但关于植物病原细菌AR的现有数据并不充分且过时。本综述介绍了植物病原细菌（PPB）的最新AR数据及其对环境的影响。鉴于这些发现，我们建议使用生物防治剂作为防治植物病原细菌的可持续、生态友好且有效的替代方法。
