The phytopathogenic bacteria Erwinia carotovora infects Drosophila and activates an immune response

21 Mar 2000

Abstract excerpt

Although Drosophila possesses potent immune responses, little is known about the microbial pathogens that infect Drosophila. We have identified members of the bacterial genus Erwinia that induce the systemic expression of genes encoding antimicrobial peptides in Drosophila larvae after ingestion. These Erwinia strains are phytopathogens and use flies as vectors; our data suggest that these strains have also...
