Background: Erwinia amylovora is the causal organism of fire blight. The fire blight is widely spread in bacterial disease of plants from both epidemiological and economic points of view. Furthermore, the situation is worsening by the advent of increased antibiotic resistance in these bacteria. The study was aimed to determine the in vitro antibiotic and herbal sensitivity of E. amylovora isolated from plants available in Sylhet, Bangladesh.
Methods: In this study, bacterial isolates taken from five fire blight infected plants like apple, pear, lemon, orange and olive plants were identified based on morphological, cultural and biochemical characteristics. All the isolates were tested for antibiotic sensitivity against five commonly used antibiotics and herbal sensitivity against five plants extract.
