Article Main Content

Klebsiella pneumoniae is emerging as an important bacterial plant pathogen in Asia region particularly in China and India. The Chinese strain of Klebsiella pneumoniae causing top rot of maize is reported to be pathogenic on mice also. The Indian strain of Klebsiella pneumoniae causing root bark necrosis and wilt in pomegranate is found non- pathogenic on Indian bird chicken, thereby indicating it to be plant host specific.

Keywords: Klebsiella pneumoniae, plant pathogenic bacteria, reaction, Indian bird chicken
