Erwinia amylovora is a serious bacterial disease of some rosaceous plants (apples, pears and related trees and shrubs). The bacterium causes the disease Fire blight and is a major threat to industry; pears are most susceptible to Fire blight.
Like many other plant pathogens, Erwinia amylovora features on the UK Plant Health Risk Register and the European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organisation (EPPO) A2 List of pests recommended for regulation as quarantine pests.
