The physiological characteristics, pathogenic propensities, and the sensitivity towards certain antibiotics of the causal bacterium of stalk rot of maize, isolated in Egypt, were studied. Different isolates of Erwinia carotovora and E. atroseptica were included for comparative studies. The antibiotic sensitivity tests (including erythromycin) are of no value in differentiating between E. carotovora and E. atroseptica. The cultures of the causal bacterium of stalk rot of maize showed physiological characteristics similar to those known for E. chrysanthemi. The pathogenic propensities of E. chrysanthemi isolates suggest the presence of a number of pathotypes of E. chrysanthemi. The proposal of HARTMAN and KELMAN to identify maize stalk rot pathogen as E. chrysanthemi (corn pathotype) seems, therefore, to be the most appropriate name for this bacterium.
对在埃及分离出的玉米茎腐病致病细菌的生理特性、致病倾向以及对某些抗生素的敏感性进行了研究。研究中纳入了胡萝卜软腐欧文氏菌和黑腐欧文氏菌的不同分离株进行比较。抗生素敏感性试验(包括红霉素)在区分胡萝卜软腐欧文氏菌和黑腐欧文氏菌方面没有价值。玉米茎腐病致病细菌的培养物显示出与菊欧文氏菌已知特性相似的生理特性。菊欧文氏菌分离株的致病倾向表明存在多种菊欧文氏菌致病型。因此,哈特曼和凯尔曼将玉米茎腐病病原菌鉴定为菊欧文氏菌(玉米致病型)的提议似乎是该细菌最合适的名称。
