D. dadantii is phytopathogenic bacterium causing soft rot diseases
on many host plants including some which are economically
important. D. dadantii, more commonly known as: soft rot, brown rot
or blackleg, causes characteristic symptoms associated with other
bacterial wilts, causing final diagnosis to be difficult. The
pathogen primarily seeks to attack the plant's xylem vessels
located in leaves, stems, blossoms and storage organs of herbaceous
plants.
