Wild mushrooms as potential reservoirs of plant pathogenic bacteria: a case study on Burkholderia gladioli
ABSTRACTFruit bodies (sporocarps) of wild mushrooms growing in natural environments play a substantial role in the preservation of microbial communities, for example, clinical and food-poisoning bacteria.However, the role of wild mushrooms as natural reservoirs of plant pathogenic bacteria remains almost entirely unknown.Furthermore, bacterial tran
