During summer 2011 in South Korea, severe fruit rot of paprika was observed, causing severe economic losses in paprika production. Symptoms of fruit and pedicel decay were consistent with symptoms caused by Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. brasiliense (Pcb) as recently described in Brazil, the United States, Israel and South Africa. Physiological analysis and pathogenicity test of strains isolated from paprika fruit revealed that the pathogen was the bacterium Pcb. Sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rDNA and partial 16S23S rDNA intergenic spacer region confirmed that the isolates were Pcb. This is the first report of Pcb in Korea, which has a significant economic impact on Korean paprika production.
